For his first feature film, writer-director Gutierrez has pulled it off quite admirably with this thriller featuring some well known actors thrown into a confined scenario which is always a difficult one to pull off but I think he did rather well with what he had to work with. As usual we have the (1 or 10) star reviews which you can virtually ignore in almost every film review section as rarely does a film merit a 10 which is the best movie you have ever seen or a 1 which is the worst movie you have ever seen and this is most certainly a million miles away from a 1 - I suggest these reviewers watch the "Bad Batch" or the recent Mickey Rourke thriller "Adverse" and tell me this film still merits a 1 star review!
Good acting performances from all concerned which is always a good start, basic heist and retrieve the stolen goods story which is staple thriller fair but done with aplomb, a welcome return from Jeff Fahey who pulls of a rather impressive vicious bad guy and Mena Suvari as the heroine who always gives a good performance, make this a lot better than it would have been without them.
Good nights viewing which will not have you reaching for the fast forward button. Solid 6 out of 10.
