Goofs
According to a newspaper headline, Steve arrived in London on a Monday and disappeared before reaching customs. Steve spends that day looking for Michael, instead finding Joan and spending that night at her place. The next day, Tuesday, after meeting Joan's boss, they chase around town after Michael and end up in police custody. Later that night they are released and discover Michael's secret hideout and find a coded message about someone leaving the country Sunday at noon, which suddenly is only 9 hours away despite the previously established time line being that it is early Wednesday morning.

Quotes
Inspector Reid: What are they running down there? An immigration control or a game of hunt-the-alien?

I'll Get You

Escape Route is a low budget quickie with ageing US star George Raft as Steve Rossi.

Rossi shows up in London, skipping the immigration queue and looking for an old friend called Grand.

Grand is elusive and wants to stay that way. Rossi is in fact a FBI agent who is investigating a gang kidnapping western scientists and taking them to Eastern Europe. Rossi teams up with the British secret service agent Joan Miller (Sally Gray) to apprehend Grand.

Raft looks a bit stiff and the romance with his younger star Sally Gray looks a bit ikky.

The film is ponderous, the title of the movie makes no sense. It is efficient but the plot seems all over the place with no tension or thrills.
