Viewing Notes
This is a smart, tight little thriller that turns the whole kidnap and double cross plot line neatly on its head.
Very well edited with a brisk running time, it never really bogs down and there are enough little surprises to keep things moving right along.
Martin Compston, who plays one of the kidnappers here, Danny, also shows up in Doomsday, which I also recently watched. Checking him out on IMDB, this bloke has been working a ferocious pace the last few years. He does a great turn here, so I’m sure we’ll see him in more movies.
