    I enjoyed the advert breaks

    What a load of old nonsense. Just brought back memories of getting lost in a multi storey car park, only to realise I was in the wrong multi storey car park.

    So bad it's good

    This movie was bad yet good. It was definitely low budget and the acting wasn't that great nor was the storyline but once you start it you wanna finish it. It starts of really slow but the farther you get the more intrigued you get. When I watched it I wanted to know what was gonna happen because I wasn't sure. You should also be aware that the movie is loud (at least it was for me) especially the alarm noise. If you don't like movies where it's not super action packed then don't watch this movie but if you do then this is a pretty good watch with a fre twist that you don't see coming (at least I didnt).

    Here comes the suck!

    First ten minutes, dude gets shot through the eye then grabs his face.. I need to say no more.

    Just.... don't.

    There are some really excellent British films out there. This is not one of them. I realise it must be hard to make a whole film from an idea, but surely at some point you would step back and say, 'Actually, these people are b**** awful actors.'? Or someone points out that the dialogue is terrible? I'm a big fan of the never-ending staircase theme. Not of this film though.

    Stairway to Leaden

    This is sort of like "Cube" in a stairwell, in that the trapped, desperate protagonists keep moving yep can't escape being in endless repetitions of the same purgatorial environment and situations. Only "Cube" had striking design elements (and deaths), whereas this has...one dull institutional stairwell, with arbitrarily colored lighting at times, for most of 100 minutes.

    You're very aware that this is a tricked-up way of making a genre film with extremely limited locations and effects (which encompasses actual repetitions of scenes), but for that to work, the tricks themselves have to be original and compalling. They're not, so you can never forget it's a very low-budget movie trying to cover that fact with leaps of imagination that in fact aren't very imaginative, let alone suspenseful or intriguing. Even the notion of repeatedly trying to revise recent history a la "Edge of Tomorrow" is dully worked out, using repetition as a narrative gimmick to ends that are tedious rather than ingenious. The horror content, such as it is, is really pedestrian. Nor are the characters interesting, as they're all humorless paramilitary types, which some of the actors are hardly convincing as. Needless to say, an eventual anti-war message kinda sinks into the general quicksand of dreariness here; the movie doesn't have even the minimum depth for it to have any impact.

    You've seen worse. But under any of its three titles so far, this is the kind of movie that just kills time rather than filling it with any genuine suspense or excitement, despite much running around and shooting/stabbing/etc. each other. At no point are you particularly glad you've stuck with it. Nothing crucial would have been lost had it been trimmed by half an hour...or any amount, really.
