The Detained

Even not watching it straight through (had to take it in doses), its still embarrassing to have seen the entire thing. The very end was kind of campy-cutesie but overall the film takes itself way too seriously for having a cast of grotesque characatures glibly plodding through the cheesy screenplay of the least interesting story ever told.

Not sure if this was suppose to be a horror or comedy or both. Terrible acting and story.

Something centred so closely on a small group of people in a restricted space needs very strong characters and spot-on dialogue, neither of which feature here. Also, just wondering, if the prison is deserted, how come the car-park is full?

Lame. Boring. Drawn out.

Slow. Only for diehard thriller seekers.

Plays up, a little, HS some HS stereotypes.

I would've stopped watching at 15 minutes, but I have a 2nd screen to occupy time.

I actually watched about 1/3, skipping ahead. The last 10 minutes was an uneventful ending.

I certainly wouldn't have padi for this, but I download for free all the movies I watch.

The acting was terrible but it is questionable if that was from bad acting itself or terrible writing. The cliche characters are about as cartoonish as you can get and yet there is no backstory or answer to why. The one liners and talkback are cringe worthy at best. The plot was bare with no filling and you knew the killer from the beginning. Even knowing who it is, they never explained why and the event that set everything in motion or why these kids were chosen, nothing was explained but you still get the poor me speech at the end. The twists at the end were suppose to be shocking but ended up just as 'what?' All in all the only thing worth noting was the setting was decent.
