As with all films in this genre I assume it would be easy to look too much into it and uncover plot flaws or put it down because there isn't much action, but this film is more than your usual sci-fi bullets and blood film. The pace of the film is never dulled and it doesn't become boring because the characters and involvement you are likely to get drawn in very early on.
To summarise: - Great acting. - Best experienced in the right mood (this is no Inception). - Enough depth to be believable. - VERY well made on a fraction of the budget other terrible films are given.
As the other reviews have said I can hardly believe the low rating this film has been given.

A little slow to get started but stick with it for 20 mins and you won't be disappointed.
Without giving spoilers, the ending was a little "by the numbers" and I might have preferred a twist of some kind rather than a straight resolution. In saying that, though, certainly doesn't deserve anything less than a 6.
There's certainly potential for a sequel here and the ending I'm thinking of would have lent itself to that. No matter, though,
A very creditable early full-length work by Nir Paniry, who should now try his hand at something even larger-scale.

Funny, I reviewed a movie a few days ago called A Dark Truth. It was absolutely dreadful. It had big name stars, an obviously bigger budget, and it failed at almost every level. Here we have a taught, thinking man's little movie with good but lesser known actors, fewer locations and much more impressive results.
The writing in this movie was top notch. The director paced the movie well. Most of the time I didn't feel the actors acting, and was involved in the story. The basic concept was clever, particularly the chance meeting of the two main characters.
The ending was satisfying and sufficiently logical that it maintained the sci-fi believability. Tough to do. Some of the character actions and plot twists were a little too convenient, but the problems weren't too distracting.
Not only do I recommend that you watch it, but watch it when you can pay attention to it. It is worth the effort. I really don't understand the low IMDb rating on this film. It is much better than it's rating.

IMDb got it wrong the film is great great character portrayal very believable strong story and all in all very enjoyable to watch right from the start the idea is captivating which in some cases if you take such a good idea , bad IMDb score= a b or c grade film bad camera work crap script and you start thinking oh great this is one of those eagle entertainment flicks. but this film is the complete opposite.I'm glad i took the time to see it,i passed on it a few times but when i had a read of the comments i thought hey they cant be all wrong which makes me wonder how many other films that I've passed on that are actually good because of IMDb giving it a rubbish score lesson learned i think
you wont be disappointed

I'm taking the time to review this, which I often do not, considering I watch every movie that is released, because the rating on this movie is far to low. It's definitely not a 9 ( my rating standard is tough, ) which I have given it, but it's definitely far from a 5; I gave it a 9 in the hopes it's overall rating would be raised.
Anyways, how people are giving this such a bad rating are beyond me. Everything that you expect in a movie was there, great character portrayals, great writing, and obviously good direction. This director/writer I'll definitely be keeping an eye to see what he can do wit a bigger budget. Great work.

- TriviaThe original opening for this film was much longer and went into greater detail on how Tom's machine worked.
- GoofsWarning: Spoilers Police always check for gunpowder traces on hands to verify who is the shooter. It would have shown who is guilty and who is innocent.
From an active police detective: The police (specifically the medical examiner) would likely only test for gunshot residue if they saw stippling, powder burns, or defensive wounds, which helps establish if the shooter was standing close by. But they wouldn't check this with suicide in mind. You get the residue by being close to the gun when it goes off, and it doesn't matter which end of the barrel you're on. So the presence of residue on her hands wouldn't mean she had to have fired the gun. There is no plot hole here.
