Eyes and Prize

The people who give this movie a high score are family to who wrote it or stared in it. The movie makes no sense. I watched the whole movie. I had questions from the start and none were answered. Like why were those three targeted? Nothing ties this movie together. The ending was not an ending. It just leaves you with more questions. Good acting can not make the script better! It is the writing that is awful. It was so bad that I am giving a bad review to make sure nobody else uses time they can't get back to watch this awful movie! Do not waste your time! There are much better movies with the same theme.

I'll give a movie 15 minutes to grab my interest. I gave this one 30 minutes. Trust me; nothing happens. It's so boring. Don't trust the positive reviews. There is nothing to see here.

If someone set up their own alternative, budget big brother, without a real plan for all eventualities, Eyes and Prize is how it could well play out. Four different personalities, who deal with the events ahead in their own ways makes for intriguing viewing. Long single shot scenes in the small environment immerses you into the situation and as things turn, puts you on the edge of your seat. The subtle blend of dark comedy into the tense environment, reminds me of the early works of Shane Meadows. A must watch.

The first 5 minutes was the best. From then on it was a downward roller coaster...don't waste your time with this.

I was really impressed by the whole film. It builds the tension steadily and leaves you with a nasty taste. A really uneasy film with a constant threat of foreboding.

All four of the actors play their parts exceptionally well and the sense of claustrophobia and is palpable. Nicely shot, edited and acted. What more could you ask for.
