Very well executed

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

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!

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.
