Good Writing, Good Directing, Good Acting
7 April 2013 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

An intelligent, suspenseful thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat.

I can usually tell if a movie is going to be promising within a few scenes of the characters dialogue. Immediately into the beginning of this film I felt promise that it was going to be good. This promise lasted all the way through to the end credits.

The films fluid writing, directing and acting kept me engaged throughout the entire feature without leaving me feeling I was watching a movie production. I was fully submerged in the suspenseful storyline.

I'd highly recommend this gripping thriller to anyone. The writing of this film set the bar a little bit higher for me and though I'm not one to watch a movie twice I may decide to return to it someday.
