Nightride

If you liked THE GUILTY (Den skyldige, 2018), LOCKE (2013), WHEELMAN (2017), you will like this. There is anxiety and tension, it is thrilling enough to keep your interest and to make you invest, and finally, the actors are doing a good job. 5.7/10 is an unfair rating, i don't understand the low ratings, this is a fine little flick if you know what to expect and if you can use your imagination.

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.

Worth a watch.

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.

Despite a lot of the negative reviews here, this film is a solid watch. Single take, in the same vein as Locke - namely all action circling around the main protagonist with a few stop offs and on screen dialogues most of the film is set inside his car via a series of phone calls. A bit of a marmite film I guess. Sometimes veering into and depending on convenient plot armour, the film pulls off what is a difficult premise with the single camera take. Really enjoyed it, worth a go if you're looking for something a bit different.

Except for some very shakycam beginnings to near nausea (later it was obvious there was no elbowroom for a steadycam), the long continuous shot was impressive, settled down in the car, and only got better. The plot kept engaging my suspension of disbelief. As an early developer of low light photography, this film blew me away with its ability to create an hour and a half continuous and seamless night shoot with no lighting glitches. The occasional lens flare and defocus bokeh is pure art, at points creating a halo around our heroine, almost reflecting his moral character. Kudos to all Ukrainians at this key moment in history! You are fighting the good fight, even as previously reflected in this surprisingly great film. I'll have to watch it again to see if there was any editing (maybe the home invasion window pan scene? ;)
