    Edge Of My Seat

    Literally was on the edge of my seat with this one! Thought I had figured it out. Then prided myself on such only to find with every twist and turn, I was sadly wrong. I was then pulled deeper into story and captivating performance. The Director must of had his hands full to be able to tell a story so captivating with the material at hand. Definitely shows the skills of the Director, DP, Editor and Musical Score. Happily impressed to be taken on a journey that showed no sign of clues to where it might lead. Which is so rare these days. Well done! I will watching out for this director to see what else he will bring to the big screen.

    Boring and predictable

    This movie is so boring especially if you have seen Saw and Buried(oh and the Recruit). The beginning is so similar to Saw that I couldn't sit through it. The end was predictable and without giving away too much I can say that it was really what one expects. All in all, a failure as movie, not because it's bad as a standalone thriller, but because it's not the first of it's kind and borrows too much from it's predecessors.

    To sum up:Originality in the script is the big issue here. However, if you have not seen the other movies I mentioned, you may like this one.( Saw is way way way better though)

    A good watch

    I enjoyed this. Late to the party in watching it. I felt the story line was strong, and it must have been a cheap film to make, and without giving spoilers away, yes, the secret service agent awakes in the trunk of a car, as the film discription says. I'm not sure about the.conclusion of this film, you decided, but it left me feeling irritated. Overall, good film

    Unexpected, cool movie!

    This movie is really great. I was in LA last fall visiting a friend and she invited me along to a screening of this movie in Santa Monica. It was on a Sunday morning and when she told me what it was about, I really thought there would never be enough mimosas at brunch to make this worth sitting through. But I was shocked. THIS MOVIE IS TERRIFIC. From start to finish I was hooked. Yes, it's in the trunk of a car, but the action is non-stop. Great action scenes, very clever plot twists and a big surprise ending that I did not see coming. And it's not what you expect at all. My friend hated the ending. I loved it. The actor Stephen Dorff is really great. I knew him from Bade and thought he'd fallen off, but I think this will give him a big boost, because he is really great in this. Never really thought he was that good until I saw him in this. He really brings it. Seek this film out and you'll be pleasantly surprised. This is far from a cheap knock off of other movies. It's an original and cool movie. I'm glad to find it here on IMDb and see that it's coming out.

    Had to see it

    I liked the overall plot of this movie but thought something was missing. The acting was good and there was a lot of action. It didn't seem like it would cost a lot of money to produce a movie like this. There was a couple parts that didn't make sense to me but I don't think I'll bother to watch again. The previews kinda reminded me of the movie buried so I was hesitant to watch. It didn't matter to me how or why the guy was put in the trunk. It was tiring watching him try to get out. I got more into the movie as it progressed and was thrown off at the ending. Overall it was okay but could of been so much better. Definitely a one time watch only movie for me.

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Lead actor Stephen Dorff is really claustrophobic. Director Gabe Torres did not know this until after filming wrapped. Torres stated that Dorff's willingness to stay inside a glass box for the duration of filming was "extreme method acting".
    • Goofs
      With short wave radios, the person speaking must press a button to engage the microphone to broadcast, and cannot receive signal while the button is depressed. In other words, only one person can speak at a time. This is why people say "over" when they have finished speaking-- to indicate that they have finished taking their turn. It is not possible to interrupt someone while they are broadcasting, as is depicted in the movie several times.
