    Brilliant until the end

    Loved the suspense through the entire movie, was relieved when he was rescued then the stupid ass ending ruined it completely!!!!!

    Not a copy of Buried, but still...

    This distinguishable idea was used before and that is why the wow! effect is smaller; the backgrounds are different, but there are lots of similar features: mobile phone calls, hope vs. despair via events outside, new sudden twists, the fate of the leading character etc. However, Stephen Dorff is stronger and more versatile actor than Ryan Reynolds.

    I have heard that many did not like the ending scenes - but I did not mind; in my opinion, it would have been more shallow if the pre-ending scenes had taken the form of the final solution. However, it remained unclear to me who was involved with whom etc.

    A catchy thriller if you like movies with solo performances in a limited space.

    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

    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)

    Keeps you interested up to the end but unfortunately not the best ending

    I must say I liked the movie. Would I watch it again? No. Up to the very end the movie was very interesting and it has been thus far - by my standards one of the best movies that you see 1:20mins only one actor acting.

    Acting was good to great. Special attention was given to verbal communications to convey meaning and a big thumbs up for that.

    Cinematography and editing was very good, too. It does not get boring or repetitive and the movie maintains an edge right close to the end. Very clever script actually.

    I would spoil the movie if I continue to speak about the ending but If you haven't read many reviews (that could spoil the end) and like mystery flick I would recommend this movie.

    7/10 for the clever movie but loses some point for the ending.

    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.
