The voice of Sarah the daughter almost had me quit in the first 5 minutes, but otherwise a good movie despite the acting and voices. Have see better captive movies based on true events.

The story itself was good, however horrific. I absolutely couldn't stand the kid Sarah's voice....god I could have happily slapped her.

He was vile, I got annoyed all the way through!!! Lolllll !!!!

Burt Young was on for 5 seconds . Sally was the worse playing doctor who was on for less than a minute. No suspense bad acting.waited 2 hours nothing happened.

Horrifically disturbing story + terrible acting = 1 star. The father/grandfather is a disgusting vile pos. The mother & daughter/sister are so annoyingly portrayed, I unfortunately felt little sympathy for them. I fast forwarded thru the cringiest scenes, which was about 50% of the 2 hour film.

Badly written Awful acting unnecessarily long It completely lacks a soundtrack and there are numerous dead and boring moments Absolutely a waste of time.

The little girl's voice is very annoying and I'm sorry because she's a child! But unfortunately it is impossible to listen to and creates nervousness.

It's a bad copy of a girl in the basement.

It's obviously a low budget film and I usually respect and support directors and actors who work with little money!

But this does not justify the poor quality of the acting and directorial work.

I'm very sorry but it's a big no! And above all I don't understand how it can have 5.6 stars on IMDB.

It's never easy to watch violent true story movies. It's a very intense movie with actors who can't act. I gave 7 for the director accomplished to keep it intense until the end.

No wonder this movie has so many awards. Very difficult for the actors and for the director to keep the public interested until the end of the story. So much suspense and heartbreaking. I will give ten stars to encourage the artists for the good job they did.

I just watched 'The Final Code'.

Based on the true story of Josef Fritzl, it is in fact a very disturbing film. But stories like this are also very important to tell so that the naive and sheltered people of the world don't continue to live on in ignorance, not knowing that such horrors could be happening next door or across town. Or as in this case, in the very basement below them.

So my hat is off to the Carlo Fusco for his amazing directing and to Ieva Lykos for having the courage to not only write, but also to produce and act in this highly provocative and emotionally stirring film.

Regarding the performances... Ieva's portrayal of Sharon was unequivocally believable. My heart ached for her in every single scene, regardless of the movement or dialogue. It even ached in her silence.

Truly, ALL of the acting was amazing, but most especially that of Ieva Lykos and little Mara Stefan, both of whom captured my mind and heart.

The performance of Chip Chuipka was also quite believable, stirring a lot of anger and hatred in me. As twisted as it may sound, I loved his performance because I hated everything he said and did. And of course it would be remiss of me if I failed to mention Syama Rayner, who also delivered a very believable and heart wrenching performance.

The other actors were also quite wonderful, but the main characters all delivered the most amazing performances I could have hoped for.

On a technical note, the cinematography was excellent, with superb camera setups and angles; the sound was believable; and the editing most certainly was top notch.
