    some things right, but more wrong

    This film did actually do someone things well. Limited cast films that are just set in one location are always interesting. Theres enough here to keep you watching to the end and even a kind of twist in a way. I don't like the characters not having names, despite it being easier to remember them. But looking at what happens in the film there is a reason for that. Pertween and compton do good in this. But it would be better if they were in a much better movie. The other cast members did an ok job to. Really it was an alright movie. It could have just done with being a bit longer and maybe a bit more aciton happening.

    Funny and horrifying in equal measure.

    Possibly the best low budget film I have seen to date. The director uses the desolate location and some amazing acting talent to bring to life a clever, intricate and often funny script. The language is shocking, as is the level of violence, but this created for me an almost morbid, edge of seat fascination, wondering what would come next. The ending was unexpected and not for the faint hearted! Interestingly, it was difficult to like any of the four characters, and the audience were left knowing little more about them than we did at the start of the film. Definitely a film to watch, perhaps more than once to really appreciate the subtle inferences of the script and direction.

    Bad casting.

    Some good things about this. The production design, the directing, the acting from most of the cast. The general movement of the story is interesting and compelling, but some detail in the dialog is clumsy and comes across as not clever and a bit cliché. On paper it may work, but the film has been ruined by one miscast actor. This actor in the business man. He may be a fine actor for a different script, but here he delivers the lines in a very unbelievable way. He has not crafted a character who we can connect with because his characters personality is never nailed. They needed a different actor to play this main protagonist. Unfortunately he is the weakest link when he is supposed to be the strongest. It might not be his fault. It is likely a casting and/or directing issue. He may be very good in other scripts.

    So film makers out there, take this as a lesson - casting is the next most important thing after script - without question.

    Don't bother

    I probably shouldn't have watched this. I'd skimmed through some of the bad reviews but thought maybe it would still be OK. After all, I'm a sucker for a four-hander play, set in one location. Anyway, as you can guess from the title of this review, I should have heeded the message. It is a poor film. Funnily enough it seems clear that the makers have genuinely tried hard to make something good. It just isn't.

    The dialogue is poor and unrealistic, the writer constantly betrays his characters, scenarios are derivative and the movie just feels too contrived. In addition, although a useful premise to start with, the ending is far too weak. Less is more might have made for a more effective film. A better writer would've done too.

    Wee Cracker - Don't take it too seriously

    I watched this late as I could not sleep. Yes it did have a little Chuckle Brother humour - but it did lighten it up. I knew it was not going to be too serious the way Sean Pertwee was knocking the crap out of the kidnapped man and the man was able to respond in a tone which you would use to order a pizza - although he did get better. The premise was a good one but the film could have been different and a lot darker, but for light entertainment it was good.

    Sean is always a pleasure to watch and the Welsh lead was a bit wishy washy however the female character was brilliant. She certainly took control of the situation - which the viewer could see from a distance.

    Worth a watch but don't expect social or ethical undertones.
