Brilliant debut by Andrew Lee Potts; he has come a long way. The first time I saw him was in Primeval and I was hooked ever since. This is another class act to add to his list of achievements. Loads of twists and a fantastic plot, direction is A class. I am glad I watched this film.
Cinematography is very good and makes you feel immersed in the film all the way through. All cast are suited well to their parts and are believable characters.
Easy on the eye and interesting enough to keep your attention throughout the whole film, I sincerely hope this is not the last film from him and look forward to watching many more.

This is not normally my cup of tea, however I had to watch this twice there was so much going on the twists the turns fabulously put together and a must see watch.
My daughter who wants to go into film after her studying, was telling me the techniques used during filming (she can be very annoying especially when your trying to watch something) and I was impressed with the detail that went into filming this.
The character development is complex and keeps you pulled into the movie.
Kate Sheridan plays her Character so well, i can't wait to see her Next Movie.
Andrew Potts, has done very well and I am looking forward to the next one.

I watched this based on the amount of "Rave Reviews" on IMDB who claimed it to be a 'masterpiece with hidden depths' !
It turned out to be nothing of the sort !
The first 15 minutes show the beginnings of a promising plot with interesting characters and an unusual setting but after that it runs out of steam ! The main scene is an empty house and the secondary scene is an empty shipping container, they spent absolutely nothing on filming locations !
It's reasonably coherent and the level of acting isn't awful but the trouble is these very same actors appear on British TV in small roles quite often but they are never very convincing. They usually just play supporting roles because they don't have much talent so it's unusual to see them in leading roles.
The plot is a fairly simple blackmail/revenge type deal and there are a couple of twists and turns along the way but after about 40 minutes I just couldn't wait for it to reach it's conclusion so we could get to the point !
If you are very bored and have nothing else to do it fills a bit of time but it's barely worth reviewing, I'm only doing this to add a realistic viewpoint !

This movie is a great example of good writing, a cast with chemistry and good directing.
The film is dark and gritty and has some great dark humor.
The script is very well written and the cast does an amazing job of pulling you into the story and keeping you excited about what's going on.
The twist and nuisances make this movie great for rewatching and analyzing.
You never know what to expect from an Indie movie, especially when you have an actor turned director making their debut, but this film does not disappoint. I look forward to what Lee Potts brings us next!
Highly recommend this watch!

A great film, with a great balance of intrigue and action. Well worth a watch. A heart-pounding thrill ride that grabs you from the first frame and never lets go. The action sequences are masterfully choreographed, blending stunning visuals with intense, edge-of-your-seat moments that keep you hooked. The pacing is relentless, with each scene building on the last, driving the tension to a fever pitch. The cast delivers strong performances, with the lead's charisma and physicality shining through. Combined with a gripping storyline and a pulse-pounding score, this film is a must-watch for any action movie fan. It's pure adrenaline on screen!
