Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Glitchface Dan Initially it was promising, but slowly and surely it made my blood boil like lava.My teeth are well-ground stumps and I'm here writing this review at 3.15am when I should be in bed, only to save others from experiencing this utter,UTTER puddle of drivel.I held on until the end stupidly.I think me and my friend suffered more than all the murder victims in this by watching the entire thing.The main character is at the core of all my rage, he was so unbelievably dumb that he'd be beaten by a cow that has suffered a shotgun blast to the head in a game of noughts and crosses, yet the writer wants us to believe that somehow (thanks to his fairy God-Mother) he made detective.The only way this pre-pubescent cop would make detective is if he won his badge in a Police raffle, but even then I wouldn't be surprised if he couldn't read the numbers on his ticket.If this person was real, he would need carers 24/7 to help him walk in a straight line, let alone tie his shoe-laces.Visually it wasn't bad and apart from the infuriating lead character the rest were very good.I don't blame the main actor, bad writing and casting is to blame here, it was a total waste of a good team because of something so basic.If this was a late 80s film it would be funny, but in 2014 it's just embarrassing.I actually feel much better now this is off my chest.It's like this film created a small black slug of negativity inside me and I desperately needed to spit it out before it grew into a large snake, consuming me as I sleep.Ahhhh, night night.

petarmatic Nothing special in this film. I watched it to watch a thriller, but I was disappointed! It was very interesting in the beginning but later it lost sense. I had a problem following the plot so I had to watch this film two times to see did I missed something. I did not. It is just simply bad plot. Nothing special about it. Lots of blood and screaming people, trying to look cool.Acting was not bad, actually it was quite good. Editing and cinematography were not that bad either. I just did not like the film that much. So I recommend that you do not watch this film. Save yourself from a worthless thriller. What a bummer!

thekarmicnomad In this mix between Silence of the Lambs and Creep Show a rookie cop has to escape a serial killer whilst calling on the stories he was told during a poker night hosted by experienced police.The stories are played out in flash back, as are some of the serial killer's.The actual plot of the film isn't that spectacular and some of the cop stories amount to little less than a routine arrest. But they are told extremely well with plenty of colour just the right blend of drama and quirkiness.The punishments the killer dishes out make you wince but were very subtly handled.Elements of darkness are expertly counter balanced with lighter scenes and themes. Even the abstract way a group of paedophiles are depicted is surreal yet sinister.I found this to be a very enjoyable watch, not very many bells and whistles but if you like character acting and suspense you will love this..

Dr_Sagan Overall this is an interesting thriller to watch.Its main problem is the weird narrative with the time moving back and forth while telling the story and while leaving "crucial" clues out for a later reveal.Also there is this gimmick, where the main character (a young cop) takes the place on screen of his older colleagues who are trying through personal stories to transfer their wisdom to him.You get the hang of it, but it is a risk and it may confuses many of the viewers.The cast is good enough. It consists of actors who you have seen them lots of times in secondary roles. Nevertheless they do a good job around a poker table as veteran cops, telling stories.The "solution" of what is happening it's presented in "key phrases" from the beginning so if you want to follow the movie and enjoy it I suggest to pay attention from the start! The man behind the mask it might fool you too!
