    This could have been better.

    This dark, moody and atmospheric drama is drenched in black and gray shades, almost devoid of color and life. It has an interesting gimmick that is stretched a bit too thin..either the lead character is guilty and is mentally ill, or is innocent and the world is out to get him. ...( read more) The acting by Evans is on spot, however the surrounding cast tries too hard at times, and their performance suffers. The plot is a one trick pony that sustains life by continually twisting and turning, so the viewer is kept wondering till the very end, when more twisting is conducted than a chubby checker song. Orwellian in tone, this film is a fairly original piece of work thats worthy of your attention.

    Excellent as a PBS suspense/thriller, only so-so as a movie release. Nice twist at the end, but could have been better.

    This high concept genre film is saved from the mediocrity typical of its breed by excellent production values and superb performances. Lee Evans shows that he is as good at a quirky dramatic role as he is in quirky comedic roles. Colin Salmon lends his usual imposing presence, Th...( read more)e rest of the cast, most of whom are less familiar, also do a fine job. It all comes together in an excellent, very dark thriller.

    Wow! This is one under-rated film!

    Taut and atmospheric with a constant feeling of unease and claustrophobia, this film will have you on the edge of your seat literally from start to finish. It has a gripping, highly original plot with several honestly shocking twists. Just wh...( read more)en you think you've worked it out, or something has been revealed, it takes you in another direction, just like another 2004 masterpiece, The Machinst, with both lacking bright colours and instead being replaced with an effectivly uncomfortable use of darkness.

    Casting Lee Evans, as much against type as he could possibly get, was a stroke of genius. You can laugh uncontrollably at his stand up and you can watch with a smile his performance in There's Something About Mary yet you watch him here, capitivated by his flawless, edgy performance. This has to be one of the best performances of all time and I say that with confidence. His performance, and his general acting, is criminally under-rated, just as the film is.
    The other cast members truly become the people they are playing and all help create a dark feeling about the film.

    I think the screenplay, with a great narration by Evan's character, is fantastic with memeroble lines, in particular the closing line and the directing, probably the most pecuilar part of the film, is brilliant.

    Not to mention the score that sucessfully creates a feeling of dread that never stops.

    Overall, this film brilliant but unfortunately under-rated and should be seen by way more people. I can't believe no one in my friends list has seen this and are "Not Interested". Not to be missed!

    An offbeat thriller that is not so far fetched, given that the average person is photographed by surveillance cameras 200 times a day.
  • February 20, 2008
    Quite a good film, with Evans doing surprisingly well although if your not a big fan of him then don't watch. The film should hold your attention but won't blow you away.
