200 Degrees

I'm burnin' through the sky, yeah 200 degrees That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit I'm travelling at the speed of light I wanna make a supersonic man out of you.

I stuck with it for about an hour but the lead guy was so unlikable that I really didn't care anymore by that point if he roasted alive or not and shut it off. Did he live or die by the end? Who knows, who cares?

Be prepared to spend 90 minutes on the edge of your seat. With excellent production, great casting, and a clever but nerve-wrecking plot, 200 Degrees will have you biting your nails on pins and needles. This thriller is chock full of suspense with twists and turns you will NEVER see coming. Balfour and Cochell give excellent deliveries that will have you anxiously sweating bullets and really feeling the heat.

Ryan, (Eric Balfour) plays a man trapped in a steel room with large heat lamps and an intercom to communicate with him. He does not know how he got there or why he is trapped inside.

A voice starts to communicate with him demanding $1,000,000 be transferred into an account and he has two hours to do so. If not, the consequences are dire. This is the general premise of the film. I will not give away any more information to spoil it for potential viewers.

The General concept has been used many times over, and this film, albeit somewhat different, could have been much better. Throughout 90% of the film, the viewer has no idea who is doing this (or why) it is happening to Ryan. However, as much as there is an somewhat interesting twist at the end, if one pays close attention to detail, you can get a pretty good grasp of what is happening.

Another run-of-the-mill kidnap/torture film that attempts to keep you guessing the why's and how's. Balfour is pretty convincing as the victim but by no means is this one of his better performances.

The ending, as mentioned had a somewhat interesting twist but was not very good at all. If fact, it was bad! All to neat and tidy in its wrap-up and quite contrived.

I gave this film a generous "6" rating just because it kept my attention to the films end but don't expect a heart pounding thriller here. If you have 91 minutes to spare, you could do worse things with your time.

I found the premise of this film interesting but the execution of such could have been better. One cast film are always pretty good and the location here was also good. An industrial kiln that has been specifically created by the villain. In this we have ryan, who wakes up in an industrial kiln with no idea how it happened. A creepy voice very reminicent of saw comes on and wants him to do different things in order for him to be released otherwise the heat will be turned up. I liked this film it was not awful. But what I can't get past is how inacurate the logic is as this guy seems to touch evertthing without burning, but its a decent thriller still overall.
