Trailer Synopsis Cast

Applying his computerlike mind to the subject of dating, transplanted British mathematician David Grant (Tom Broadwell) searches all of Montreal for the perfectly compatible woman. But when he finds her (Caroline Brassard), Grant goes one step further and kidnaps her. Stealing a person's heart is one thing, but holding someone hostage based merely on statistical data seems like the antithesis of romance.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Congratulations to Dominique. Excellent writing and direction. Very believable. Judging by the comments on Youtube, this movie apparently strikes up some mixed feelings about the premise. Caroline Brassard plays a very convincing role as a kidnapped, fiercely independent that is probably too independent for her own good. Love the way this story unravels!

Here's a plot that has been covered a few times over the years - Stockholm syndrome. As creepy as the guy is (he really did his homework in stalking her before kidnapping her), I eventually found myself rooting for him over the course of the movie. And at the same time, right now, right after I finished watching it, I feel ashamed of myself for falling into the all too obvious trap. I don't know what to make of it.... maybe I should see a therapist. But the point is that this low budget movie, these first time actors and first time director (if I understand correctly) kept me glued to the screen the whole time. And I get easily bored with movies if they don't hold my interest, especially in the beginning.Great job! p.s. I friggin' hated 50 Shades of Grey.

Spoilers ahead. As far as I'm concerned, some of the ratings may have been submitted by those who have a vested interest. For me, the film was a slow, nerve- grating, disgusting depiction of Stockholm Syndrome and nothing more. Also,there were too many contrivances (or the girl was just plain stupid): a) She could have hit him repeatedly with the golf club, killing him. b) There were several items, other than her bare hands, with which she could have tried to jimmy the boards covering the windows. She could have smashed a chair and used one of its legs; and ditto for the fan- stand. Plus, there appeared to have been a cinder-block handy. c) She could have smashed him over the head with the bottle instead of going for his keys. Not to mention that consuming alcohol in the first place was a mistake on her part. d) She cooperated with him too often. On the other hand, if she had pretended to cooperate from the start, she could probably have had more chances to catch him off guard. e) It wasn't explained how he got her into the tub, clothes or no clothes. The final scene was tacked on in order to shock us but is actually redundant. We know he's a sicko.
