Calibre

One of those "men go into the woods and something terrible happens" movies that go all the way back to "Deliverance." This one is pretty good, especially given that this is I believe the director's first film. Two buddies, one alpha and the other more sensitive, are involved in a terrible accident that they then decide to cover up. The small village they're staying in gets wise and decides to deal with them vigilante style. The ending starts to get a bit contrived and you can feel the film straining a bit to deliver a finale that will shock, but the movie up to that point is taut and well acted, and it's entertainingly uncomfortable in that way movies are when you're watching protagonists dig themselves deeper and deeper into a hole they won't be able to crawl out of.

Grade: A-

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.

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.

The thing that's great about this movie is the pace of it. Things very quickly escalate at break neck speed for these two friends leaving you wondering what one might do in that situation! Very very excellent film and worth a watch.

Worth the watch this anti hollywood movie. It's very realistic and terrifying. Low budget but high quality.
