Black Site: La tana del lupo

I got about half way through then turned it off. Unfortunately, it looks like Jason Clarke is following Bruce Willis and Liam Neeson's career path and starring in terrible low budget action films. This is definitely not a movie I'd recommend. 4 stars.

In first scene woman talking about Istanbul (Turkey) but it showing scenes from Jeddah (Saudi Arabia). I watched this movie cause of cast, director was looking fine but i was wrong. They shot in one place, story is cliche, there is famous actors/actress but movie is bad.

A generic, one-location thriller, cheap to make but difficult to excel, this has so many clichés mashed together it hurts to watch.

Twenty minutes are used to build up the big-bad in absentia. Phase two is lock-in with a psychopath, an artificially generated time constraint with no way out. This comes complete with power struggles, traitors in our midst and running around shirtless carrying a gun à la Ripley.

Michelle Monaghan is a decent actress, but Sigourney Weaver she is not, we get an abundance of doubting, shouting and pouting, running through nondescript corridors as the body count rises.

This all plays out to a heavily telegraphed ending, so obvious a blind ten-year old could see it coming. Most disturbingly, the makers naïvely included a massive hook for a sequel that nobody wants or needs.

One of those very low budget thrillers shot on dark and repetitive sets. They make a lot of these lately and a lot of them have starred Bruce Willis, but this one's a bit different. The setting is a Middle Eastern prison site, where some special ops are struggling to contain a violent escaped prisoner. Monaghan looks the part but isn't particularly impressive as the lead, although Jason Clarke is better and Jai Courtney surprisingly good too. As with usual with such films, the script is underwhelming and the story non-existent, but the various fight sequences are quite physical and have semi-decent choreography too.

Really really boring.

It should be good with this cast...but it's not Monaghan isn't really an action star.

Jason Clarke is good...hardly speaks but good at being a killer Seems to be patched together with no real substance to the plot.
