Creaks under the weight of its pedestrian plotting and perforated plausibility

Hampered by a low budget yet the narrative is strong enough to keep you watching. Better than you'd think with plot holes being rightly filled.

Holy crap! This movie was one fast ride--it felt like it was 10 minutes long and I kept wanting it to go on and for Jasper to find a way out. I worship the awesomeness that is Steven Mackintosh!

Simpson has created an intelligent, well-acted, twisty, spellbinding, dark and moody film that questions if what you are seeing is believable.

Rated: B+

Like a bemused John Cusack stumbled into a very loud Steven Seagal shoot-'em-up.

I thought the movie was going to follow through, but it settles into a conventional man-on-the-run formula.

Rated: 2/4
