Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

krullhero I came across this micro-budget British thriller via some online reviews which sung it's praise and decided to give it a shot. I didn't, however, expect it to be as good as it actually was. I was very impressed with this film and quite moved. It doesn't look, sound or feel like low budget. The story is brilliant and kept me hooked all the way. Everything else is top notch as well; the acting, directing, cinematography, editing and music.I think that some of the big Hollywood films could learn a thing or two from this film on how to tell a story.Highly recommended!

tombrookes2007 This is actually a great find for film fans and a good watch. The shoot, acting and story are all acceptably good and its menacing simplicity is the key. It starts off excellently but soon moves away from a dark film, to a film with story and purpose. This is an independent British film which sees a man kidnapped and imprisoned in a room on a farm for over 30 days. The sleazy victim is played by Manc Stephen Lord, with his main holder (of a pair) being Cockney actor Ricci Harnet (Carlton Leach from Rise of the Footsoldier). It is slow, aggressive, menacing and dark for the most part. The victim is a druggie with a no doubt dodgy past and this unveils as the grim story unfolds, via flashbacks and shared information. The characters are grimy and unlike-able but it is mostly gripping, making you want to stick with it and watch for the reason behind all this drama.Spoiler - The film is based on real events, whereby parents have kidnapped their own kids for forced drug rehabilitation. My only gripes with this type of film is that is very demanding on the viewer and so can seem long, overplayed and although commendable in substance and message, the lack of activity can make it rather dull and taxing. For fans of such films as my review describes only.
