Good story, Not enough for a whole film

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This film tells the story of a woman who is abducted to a remote house.Most of the film only feature two people, and it is quite intense and suspenseful. The reason why the woman is abducted is only revealed at the 58 minute mark, which is a long time to wait! The house is beautiful and is exactly the style I like. Luke Evans is great in his role as well. The ending is a little far fetched, but the film serves the purpose of delivering suspense and thrill.

Ok so guy kidnaps girl in BROAD DAYLIGHT... only person in the parking lot is a random dude with headphones on... what?? Guy brings girl to his home where he spent wayyy too much money fixing up to be a prison and throws her in a 10x10 padded SOUND PROOF cell. Girl spends more time screaming (which she knows no one will hear her) and clawing at a broken piece of tile (how her finger nails didn't fall off is purely inconceivable)... guy demands to know her name (by this point in the film I figured out everything the plot was based on - she's hiding a secret - secret is she or her family had something to do with the death of one of his loved ones) after demanding to know her name so many times he finally puts a gun to her head and that's when my theories are proven right. She's a religious nut job who took the bike out of context after finding out her dad cheated on her mom and killed her kidnappers dying wife for cheating on him. She's in the wrong obviously so a huge fight ensures. She deserves to die simply for the fact that she had 1 million chances to escape her captivity and instead stayed around to play in her own blood. Guy turns out to be the "hero" but is really no better than she is, because who gets away with kidnapping someone regardless of what they did? Oh and his child isn't even is.. shocker. Come on Hollywood, I'm a freakin film major and can write WAY better scripts than this, give me a shot instead of wasting opportunity on ridiculous idiocy... is like a freaking "paycheck" too thanks!

I'm not one for long reviews so here goes.It wasn't nearly as bad as other reviews make it out to be. Sure not the best movie bud I'd say deserves atleast a 5/10.

First of all, I'm not a fan of people who say the actions of characters in movies are stupid or illogical, or that no one would actually behave in that way, because usually they are talking about a situation that they have never personally been in, and more importantly, all people react differently to situations so who are we to say how the characters should react.That said, these characters' actions are too absurd to be believed, and the only reason for such behavior is to further a silly plot. For example, the women held captive is going to bop the captor on the head (who is holding her hostage with a gun) and knock him out several times throughout the first 30 minutes of the movie, at which point she could easily grab the gun and be in control, but for some reason she repeatedly tries to run, at which point the captor magically awakens and catches her again, only to be hit and knocked out again, and so on and so forth. Furthermore, it becomes clear right away that the captor knows she is concealing her identity by repeatedly asking her name and getting angry when she answers, "Cathy." So everyone knows she is not actually Cathy... but Cathy fails to realize this and is flabbergasted that he keeps asking who she is. She was arguably the most frustrating and annoying character to listen to, but one also has to wonder why Luke Evans does not just stop asking her name and reveal that he knows exactly who she is. It's stupidity of both characters in order to try to build suspense/mystery that really ends up being irritating.On top of all that, the ending is quite unsatisfying. If you thought all this nonsense was building up to some awesome twist or revelation, you'd be wrong.
