Wow! Such a good movie.

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Blistering performances.

Independent film makers the Clay brothers wrote and directed this pulse pounding thriller with incredible originality and vision. The influence of Noir and classic Hitchcock and Fritz Lang are evident but the movie still offers something very fresh and new. Also starring John Will Clay in a superb performance that reveals him to be a quite gifted and charismatic actor. Bret Hopkins and Ashley Morgan lend strong support in roles that might well have otherwise been clichés if not for their skillful characterizations. There is high action indeed as the authorities move desperately to recover a prototype weapon that has been stolen and threatens to be detonated. The Clays make excellent use of Cincinnati locations to dial-up the suspense and the chase proceeds at a breakneck pace. Filmed on a meager budget, the lack of money never shows and any deficits in production values are well compensated for through stunning creativity, spectacular visuals, and a sharply written screenplay. This is one of those films that makes audiences truly appreciate the talent and vision of the motion picture independents.

Hey, give these guys a break. OK, it's not Die Hard 4.0, but if you consider that it's the first effort of a small group of independent film makers, who wrote, produced, edited, scored, and everything else, it was a truly outstanding effort.Good plot, and funny acting. Remember how stiff the acting was in the first Star Trek (TOS) movie? "Wrath of Khan" was the next one in the series, and it was maybe the best. I'm looking forward to their next effort. Remember the first time you did something? You got better the next time, right? Keep at it you all. Consider the comments here and grow with the advice.

The premise of the movie seemed interesting, so I gave it a watch. Unfortunately, the acting was so horrible that I couldn't focus on the movie. This movie will probably stay in my "worst 10" list for a while. Why? The acting is beyond bad - all of the actors exhibit delayed, awkward, or incorrect emotions in almost every scene. It seems like the director/writer couldn't figure out whether they wanted a drama, comedy, or tragedy - so they mixed it all up.It's a really awkward film with bad directing, acting, and plot. Some movies are so bad that they're funny, but this movie is just painful to watch because it's bad but tries to pretend like it's not.In short, it's the first movie we've watched where my fiancé has said "We can turn this off if you want - this is horrible." If you want to see what a movie would be like with no real plot and bad acting and directing, by all means watch this movie. If you want to be entertained, however - stay away.

Made myself some microwave popcorn in anticipation of watching this movie after seeing the 7.9 score. However, turns out that this is a huge disappointment. A 16 year old media student could do better acting than this.It's so obvious that all the lines are memorized, the acting and speech is not natural at all. There are also no facial expressions. For example a man about to die speaks with the same volume as the other guys. As a result I stopped watching this after 20 minutes, I couldn't bear it anymore.I won't even talk about special effects which are terrible but seeing that it's a low budget I won't comment on that. However, the acting is what ruins this movie and deserves a score of 0!
