This wasn't a terrible film, but based on the description I hoped for more action and such. Most of the movie is shot inside the main characters car, as he navigates the streets to chase down his one last job before quitting that life forever . I would say that the idea was there and it was an interesting concept but could have been executed better. Overall not a bad movie but feels very drawn out.
This real-time single-take shot film was certainly an edge of your seat tense and suspenseful ride. It's certainly an impressive feat as only his second full length film for short-film director Stephen Fingleton. I had my doubts at first - I mean what can you really accomplish in one take for 97 mins, but short-film writer Ben Conway (who makes his first full length feature film debut) managed to throw in some tense twists, curve-balls and even some amusing one-liners to keep me entertained the entire time. The story wasn't really revolutionary, but the way it was shot, and the fact this was all in real time, just made the writing that much more exciting. Moe Dunford as Budge helped elevate the story with great body language and mounting intensity. This is a great slickly crafted minimalistic Irish crime thriller and it's certainly worth the watch. A well deserved 8/10 from me. .
Can't believe the bad reviews. This in an excellent, well filmed thriller with a great central performance fae Moe Dunford. A great screenplay from Ben Conway also.
The element of "one shot" the entire time is very effective in holding the suspense the whole movie. Really keeps you on edge, at least I was always expecting the worst to happen to this guy and bou does he have a night. Lol Few slow parts but thats only to build the story. Great job!
With 90 minute play time, it hardly has a dull moment considering there are no CGI or fancy stunts.
Do not pay attention to the rating. The acting is great. The characters (not many of them) are interesting and story is simple, to the point.
