It has a few too many twists for my taste, pushing its already overdetermined plot beyond all grounded credulity, but its point about the bunkered politics of fear is well made.

Despite some nifty plot twists, the story feels loose, and lacks a sense of urgency. Maybe it worked better on paper?

Rated: 2/4

The new sci-fi thriller Prisoner X has not learned the lessons of Primer, and that's a shame, because it's treading similar ground. It has a good idea, but no idea how to execute it.

Rated: 1/5

Not being a big budget film, it lacked in mobility and scene, but made up for it in writing and acting. Well done

The production itself doesn't have the bang to captivate through action or eye candy. But the film stays engaging through an entertaining story solidly sold by a convincing cast. It may even take the entire 85 minutes to realize that "Prisoner X" accomplishes so much with so little.

Whilst it had a good story, I found it a bit monotone.

This very intelligent movie also makes it an astonishing sci-fi thriller. Forcing you to make guesses and second guesses of what is going to happen next. Likely it will turn out to be wrong. This is one of the best independent thriller movies made, and mind-blowing how little money was spent on it all.
