I havent seen a film like this before, i really enjoyed it.
5 men wake up in a warehouse in the middle of nowhere unsure of how they got there or worse still who they are. ( this is the only part that has that SAW feel ). Piece by piece the puzzle is put back together, 3 kidnappers and 2 hostagers. Whos who??
I liked the idea of the film and i was happy to let my older children watch it ( not much violence and no sex ) which sometimes spoils a good story. The pace was quick and it was interesting that we all tryed to work out who was who and that we all guessed different!!!!!!!
This was a top film plenty to keep you wondering right up until the climax at the end. Didnt get cinema release or the press it so richly deserved over here. You wont be disapointed as its kind of 'saw' meets 'the usual suspects'.
If you like a film with allot of suspense then this is for you.
This film is truly EXCELLENT.

As previously stated, I think the best way to describe this is Memento meets Reservoir Dogs. I enjoyed it, but I think it might have fallen victim somewhat to its own cleverness. I found there were still a couple of unanswered questions at the end, though this might have been more down to the fact that I watched it late at night and missed something in my drowsiness! Worth a watch, though, but try to stay alert!!

I ENJOYED THE MOVIE, I LOVED THE CONCEPT AND , IT DIDN'T DISAPPOINT . THE DIRECTOR TEASED YOU, FOOLED YOU, AND SHOCKED YOU, I FELT NO EMPATHY FOR THE CHARACTERS , BUT I ASSUME THATS THE WAY IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE. THE MOVIE ITSELF KEPT ME GUESSING AND ,I LOVED THE MIND GAMES IT OFFERED. THE HUMOROUS MOMENTS INTERACTED NICELY WITH THE WELL ACTED TENSE SCENES. IF YOU LIKE TO THINK AHEAD AND ,TRY TO WORK OUT THE OUTCOME BEFORE THE MOVIE ENDS THEN THIS IS FOR YOU.
disc unplayable, looked like it had been dragged through a field backwards!!!!
Scatological cobblers, this. Barely 75 minutes long and nonsensically incoherent, yet reasonably glossy and with a surprisingly stellar cast, this high concept car accident was almost certainly a victim of zealous exec interference in post production.
The concept is deeply derivative but there is definitely potential here for a punchy B-movie; five strangers in varying states of disrepair simultaneously rouse in a dingy warehouse in the middle of a Texan desert. Thanks to an accident involving an unsealed canister of only-in-the-movies nerve toxin, they're now all suffering from chronic amnesia. Some of them are hostages, some of them are kidnappers, and they have until sunset to work out who's who before a post-heist crime kingpin comes to off the dead weight and scarper into the night.
Its a stupid idea, but the concept of isolated men being forced to evaluate their moral codes without knowing which side of the law they exist on, is one that at a couple of junctures threatens to become quite juicy. Sadly, this film is much more interested in treating us to endless botched escape attempts (all gallingly familiar) and more aimless shouting than a film of twice its duration could handle. The writing is so poor that the plot's numerous twists mean absolutely nothing, and the characters are all so badly sketched that they feel like, essentially, the same horribly dull person. A sub-plot involving Bridget Moynahan starts off confusing, before it happily descends down an infuriatingly self-satisfied helter skelter of utter perplexity that reminded me of that hellish Guy Richie f*ckwitticism Revolver.
Greg Kinnear is miscast, Peter Stormare is typecast, and James Caviezel is, as usual, about as charismatic as a de-barked tree.
It all adds up to very, very little.
Generally an OK movie, nothing special. 5 guys wake up in an abandoned warehouse with no memory of the events leading up to their unconciousness and not knowing who to trust. The last 5 minutes explains the whole story well, which changed my rating from dull to watchable (actually quite a clever ending).
Don't put off a night out to watch it, but it's not a waste of an evening if you have nothing else to do.
I gave up and went to the pub...it was terrible from the very beginning...badly acted just downright awful!
Plain and simple very Underated film.
