This was an excellent movie. Tense and atmospheric from the start, you could sense from the beginning that something pretty dark was going to happen. I thought the acting was excellent from the entire cast especially the lead character. I really found myself feeling for these 2 characters and the very unenviable position they had found themselves in.... it was completely gripping and made for some uncomfortable viewing at times. I check all my Netflix choices on IMDB first yet have never actually left a review. Was surprised at the very average 6.6 rating so thought I'd do my bit to share what a fab film this is. If you like your movies tense, gripping & well acted go for it you won't be disappointed.

Pretty good thriller. not sure what the negative reviewers are on about. the plot is solid, acting pretty good, If i had to nit pick i would talk about the way they talk, the strong accent is sometimes difficult to understand. but otherwise it's a gripping tale all the way through. i enjoyed it

Number 1 > The STORY may be simple (some may say predictable at some points) but it is FULL OF REALISM. It may remind you a nightmare that you once experienced and you would never want that to be true.

Number 2 > Performances are very convincing. It makes you feel that you are in the two antiheroes' shoes. And believe me it is quite uncomfortable since their positions are EXTREMELY UNPLEASANT.

Number 3 > CINEMATOGRAPHY & MOOD is perfect; full of Scottish rural scenery.

Conclusion:

I would suggest not to watch trailers or various movie scenes and not to read anything about how the story unfolds. If you like intense thriller as well as Scottish village and woods scenery, just go for it.

Was very tired after a sleepless night in tent so wasn't expecting to make it through this film! How wrong was I - the film really delivered as a tense thriller, you genuinely feel like you are in Vaughn and Marcus' shoes in places.

The foreboding Scottish scenery and the sense that the 2 main characters really are outsider in that world adds to the tension.

Had me glued to the screen throughout -there were no 'flat points' in the film.

Engrossing film reminiscent of movie Deliverance. Well acted and well dramatized.
