Good concept, poorly executed.

A Disappointing Continuation
Arianna Moses
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

This movie seems to be good from the description and actors in it but it never really takes off. The entire movie is monotone and doesn't deserved to be called a thriller! I love movies with this kind of story line and in this genre but I'm here to save you the time and let you know I believe you'll be very disappointed and realize you've lost an hour and 45 minutes of your life.The actors are decent, I believe the main role may have been better suited for someone like Mark Whalburg. And it's almost like there's 2 totally different plots until the last 30 minutes of the story. Definitely not as thrilling as desired. The idea is a good one just not carried out by the staff to its potential!!

It's quite good movie. Not even it is quite small budget movie, it contains good cameraman work, good producing and work of actors. All visualization is good and all movie is comparable with big budget movies. From the technical side - movie won't disappoint viewers.But story have some disadvantages. All storyline is quite clear, but for me some acts of characters looked inadequate for their current situation. And because these acts is a piece of story, the story starting to look to me not so hard, serious and shocking. But the last 15 min will shows, that all movie lead you to situation without salvation. After all - our all life contains a lot inadequate act and decisions, and Pressed story could become your story (in the worst variant).As I sad, all movie is quite calm and slow. There aren't a lot of action, car chasing or big "booms". But all that calmness to me created scary atmosphere, because it looked so real and it could took place in my neighborhood.In summary I can say, that Pressed is normal movie (100% not bad, but is it good - it's a question for each viewer).

I think this is another fine, low-budget Canadian movie. Well shot and performed, with real-life characters and situations, the former being accurately depicted. It's a just stuck-in-a-bad-situation-getting-worser-and-worser case, but with a refreshing point of view. The storyline is original, the cast delivers an excellent job, Luke Goss has charisma and Donnelly's directorial style is effective. Not outstanding, but definitely well worth a watch. It's the kind of small movie with no artistic ambitions, nonetheless fueled with talent and passion. After "Gunless", another good example of highly-entertaining feature film.

OK, Matt Goss puts up a good show of being a young exec on the way down. And when he's tempted into easy money in a bar, we can believe it. But luck would have it that a couple of kids steal a car containing the deal money. Me, I'd be out of there, but these dumb brats somehow (didn't get how) find themselves speaking to Matt on the phone and agree to meet him, later to try and get the money back on the car and electronics they've bought. Are they mad? Why would they do that? I was OK with the first three-quarters of the story, then it goes into Alice in Wonderland territory - yet Matt maintains his serious expression to the end. Masterful! In conclusion: an unconvincing story makes a dreadful movie.
