SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

darkness_visible A very neat and tidy thriller, excellently conceptualised to work on a limited budget, that held my attention and interest from first frame to last. During the season of mega-budget eye candy films that inspire nothing more than loud snoring, it's refreshing to see such a well-designed and gripping low budget movie standing up to the big boys.The performances of the four main leads were absolutely terrific. I had not seen Jordan Belfi or Rick Gomez before, but they more than held their own opposite the seasoned stars Dominic Monaghan and Agnes Bruckner. I'm only guessing, but my sense is that it was the participation of Monaghan that allowed the film to be made - if so, then kudos to him, because he obviously has the capability to spot a great film on paper and put his name out there to support a new and promising filmmaker.Overall an excellent job from all concerned.

tjzoogle The first thing i thought about when starting this film was whether i could see Dominic Monaghan as anyone but, Merry from Lord of the Rings. Apparently i can and although i had my doubts about watching a low key film with actors i didn't really know or cared existed it was still brilliant. The plot unlike many other films in my opinion doesn't sag in the middle and you are put in constant suspense about the future of the main character (holy water seller) and the taxi driver. The acting is brilliant in this film and it is very clever in places in my opinion (although i am quite simple minded). Overall before seeing the film on the shelf or on sky movies (or any other TV thing) don't hesitate to watch it. It's pulled off brilliantly and it has quite a unique storyline. Basically watch it.

peterjkelly49 Considering barely anyone has heard of this film, I was pleasantly surprised, it was really really good and the acting was spectacular. The plot grabbed me straight away and the twists and developments made for a thrilling ride. The ending was perfect and did not disappoint. The camera-work and direction was superb. I would recommend this film to anyone who enjoys Tarantino's work as the plot is extensive and brilliant. The actor that plays the (arguably) main character is someone I will definitely watch out for in the future and there is also some familiar faces. This is the director's (Inon Shampanier) first feature film that he has directed and Dominic Monaghan not only stars but also was the Executive Producer. Crazy stuff.

richard-810 Like the other IMDb reviewers, I spotted this on a UK satellite channel and gave it a try. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it (if you can see it). An excellent cast - only four main characters - but is a very tense thriller, fast paced, good direction and featuring a confidence trick plot. I'll not say any more as I certainly don't want to spoil it for anyone but it has some really good twists right to the end. One of those movies that you know is going to have a surprise at the end but when it came was not the one that I had guessed or was expecting.The only problem then is how and where to see it? I've already said it's available on UK satellite channels and I see that it is 'Internet release only'. I assume this is the US? If so, it's real shame that a well made movie like this with a good cast and excellent story is not more widely available. I'm no expert on the economics of the movie industry but this deserves to be seen and enjoyed by a wider audience.
