It keeps you tensed and anxious and never sure of how anything will turn out. You get your money's worth.

To give credit where it's due, this lukewarm mess of a movie delivers what its title promises.

This overly talky, slackly executed game of cat-and-mouse comes off as cheesy rather than chilling.

Standoff is a wondrous display of two talented actors that need more recognition.

Cinemalogue

The concept might have worked better as a short, where the bookend action sequences would have had more impact and the extended middle stretch wouldn't have included so many silly twists and misguided stabs at moral complexity.

Worth a watch. Excellent performances. Manages to be cerebral and blood and guts exciting at the same time, with moral dilemmas circling like sharks.

Fishburne is a ruthless killer that gets captured on film by a little girl. She makes her way into Thomas' house and the standoff begins. Nothing too twisty happens - but it's an entertaining hour and a half.
