It's a somewhat decent made and looking low budget genre flick, that is
however suffering from a terrible written script.
Problem with the movie is that you for the longest time will have no
idea what you are watching here. You have no idea who all these
characters are supposed to be and where the story will be heading at. I
hate it when a movie does that. It's lazy writing and not a clever way
to keep the audience in the dark for as a long as possible, concerning
its story.
And really, when the plot becomes apparent it gets very easy to guess
each time what shall happen next. The big 'twist' also is hardly
something clever at all, since probably most will figure it out half
way through already. It's just too obvious all and unfortunately also
nothing too convincing, making this movie and its plot quite ridicules
all.
It also really makes this a pointless movie to watch. It's lacking a
clear point and direction with its story and there is nothing in it
that shall ever truly surprise or thrill you. Not even the action,
which isn't even all that much present anyway but you can blame the
budget for that.
It's a sad thing Donald Sutherland's talent has to go to waste in this
movie. Well, guess it was just some easy and fast money for him, since
he isn't even all that much present in this movie, though it of course
still gets advertised like he is playing a big part. But same can be
said for Timothy Spall really, who should be above these type of
movies.
