Review

Claustrophobic, one-location thriller in the mould of Buried, or Alfred Hitchcock's TV episode Final Escape, if you want to be a little more historic. Stephen Dorff gives it his all in a convincing lead performance, which helps keep this interesting for probably longer than the plot warrants. The plot is something about terrorism and Secret Service agents which may or may not hold water, but with a twist ending as contrived as this one, the chilling feeling is soon replaced by the realisation that the whole preceding story is negated by it. It's all about that effect for director Gabe Torres, who on his way there does a fine job artistically speaking.
