I watch a lot of DVDs of the kind where the box pretty much screams, "I'm low-budget crap! Don't rent me!" (More accurately, I usually have them playing on the computer while I'm eating and doing something else on the computer at the same time.) You know, the kind where, at best, there's a quote from the Ponca City Gazette on the cover. So my expectations are pretty low, but sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised.
Is this one of those times? Well, it's slow moving, it has that low-budget claustrophobia induced by there only being a minimal number of sets, and I'm not sure if the story makes any sense. And I'm not about to watch it again to figure that out.
But it was better than I expected, and I give extra points for the trailer and box not giving everything away. So, grading on the curve, I give it a decent rating. You should probably give it more of a chance than it looks like it deserves. Is that a ringing endorsement, or what? - Tom
