    Storyline

    • Trivia
      In the opening scene, one of the callers in the 911 center states "I think I'm having an overdose and so is my wife." The line was made famous by Edward Sanchez, a policeman who confiscated marijuana from a suspect and then made brownies with it. He called 911 when he thought he had taken too much.
    • Goofs
      When Jordan stumbles upon the trapdoor access to the underground bunker, it is covered with leaves and debris. But Michael is already inside, so the debris would have have fallen away when he opened the trap door.
    • Quotes

      [last lines]

      Michael Foster: You're an operator. You can't do this!

    8/10
    A film of two halves.
    The first half of the film I'd genuinely give a 10/10, the second half would be more a 6/10.

    The first forty five minutes had me utterly gripped and on the edge of my seat, it was exactly what you want from a thriller. The second half becomes a more bog standard thriller, dare I say it, it becomes somewhat silly, the ending is too much.

    Berry is terrific, I am such a fan of hers, sadly her character transforms into something a little silly. The villain is rather good, I only wish we got to learn a little of his motivation, sadly they didn't explore it.

    It's watchable. 8/10
