When he cannot locate the tapes proving his whereabouts at the time of the murder, Veil's paranoia grows exponentially as he attempts to uncover the truth.

Simpson and director of photography Mark Garret manage to place the audience well inside the disoriented, dystopian world inhabited by Veil. Go to Full Review Ella Taylor L.A. Weekly 12/09/2004
Evans is wonderfully vulnerable and insidious as the mischievously named Sean Veil. Go to Full Review Neil Smith BBC.com 08/14/2004

Sadly, after a promising opening, John Simpson's feature debut dissolves into a disappointing hodgepodge of risible overacting and transparent plotting. Go to Full Review Tom Dawson The List 04/18/2019

This low budget debut feature swiftly squanders an interesting premise of a man under perpetual self-surveillance to become a garbled and illogical thriller. Go to Full Review Matthew Turner ViewLondon 08/14/2004

05/28/2021 Def unbelievable and kept getting more far fetched but it was decent enough 3.0 See more Frances H 06/21/2013 Terrific psychological thriller showing that you can't be too paranoid, done with slick elegance of a classic film noir and murder mystery, beautifully filmed. See more 06/12/2013 This was a great film. I have NO idea why it has such low audience ratings. I am a big movie buff and I loved it! See more 12/22/2012 After nearly three years, i finally got around to watching this and i wasn't disappointed. It is a very smart and interesting film. Lee Evans is my very favourite comedian and it was great to see him in this, and like Jim Carrey in The Number 23, comedians truly can act, Lee is brilliant in this. Great supporting cast, well directed and it kept me interested right til the end. Great film.
