    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Lead actor Stephen Dorff is really claustrophobic. Director Gabe Torres did not know this until after filming wrapped. Torres stated that Dorff's willingness to stay inside a glass box for the duration of filming was "extreme method acting".
    • Goofs
      With short wave radios, the person speaking must press a button to engage the microphone to broadcast, and cannot receive signal while the button is depressed. In other words, only one person can speak at a time. This is why people say "over" when they have finished speaking-- to indicate that they have finished taking their turn. It is not possible to interrupt someone while they are broadcasting, as is depicted in the movie several times.

      Jeremy Reins: If you know me so well, you should know that I won't tell you anything.

    Had to see it
    I liked the overall plot of this movie but thought something was missing. The acting was good and there was a lot of action. It didn't seem like it would cost a lot of money to produce a movie like this. There was a couple parts that didn't make sense to me but I don't think I'll bother to watch again. The previews kinda reminded me of the movie buried so I was hesitant to watch. It didn't matter to me how or why the guy was put in the trunk. It was tiring watching him try to get out. I got more into the movie as it progressed and was thrown off at the ending. Overall it was okay but could of been so much better. Definitely a one time watch only movie for me.
