Low budget B Movie in an empty house !

I watched this based on the amount of "Rave Reviews" on IMDB who claimed it to be a 'masterpiece with hidden depths' !

It turned out to be nothing of the sort !

The first 15 minutes show the beginnings of a promising plot with interesting characters and an unusual setting but after that it runs out of steam ! The main scene is an empty house and the secondary scene is an empty shipping container, they spent absolutely nothing on filming locations !

It's reasonably coherent and the level of acting isn't awful but the trouble is these very same actors appear on British TV in small roles quite often but they are never very convincing. They usually just play supporting roles because they don't have much talent so it's unusual to see them in leading roles.

The plot is a fairly simple blackmail/revenge type deal and there are a couple of twists and turns along the way but after about 40 minutes I just couldn't wait for it to reach it's conclusion so we could get to the point !

If you are very bored and have nothing else to do it fills a bit of time but it's barely worth reviewing, I'm only doing this to add a realistic viewpoint !

Waterlogged squib.

Not even damp.

So, I saw Andrew Lee Potts on this and thought I'd give it a watch. He was pretty good and funny in Ideal.

Then again, I'm pretty sure he wasn't writing or directing in that.

This is really dire. Immediately noticable is the soundtrack - it sounds like free-to-use audio and a definite red flag.

May well have been better keeping the film in the shipping container, saving the money and investing in actors... the pinnacle of which here is Jason Flemyng, hardly a high benchmark and sad to say that his "performance" is head and shoulders over the rest of the cast. Yup, actors not good enough to be in a later-era Guy Richie product.

I'm not a film maker, but the lighting is glaringly inconsistent and bad. Bad enough to make it the most interesting point of the film.

Should have just made 90 minutes of the estate agent getting tortured, at least that would have been funny.
