Amateur movie with Big budget

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Firstly the story is great. I love it and it's current and valid, however the screenplay lets it down with poor dialogue and weak plot points although the decent pace helps out a lot. The acting is like a pendulum: Burfitt and Gipson are sometimes excellent, and sometimes flat, and I blame that not on them but what i think is probably poor and inconsistent directing. The twist at the end is great. You know one is coming but you can't know what it is and it's a good one and well written into the story. It's probably the best written and directed part. It was very gratifying to see they resisted the temptation for lots of gratuitous nudity and sex. Nicely done. All in all a very enjoyable film.

The fact that real live events have actually copied the premise of this film is a testament to the currency of the topic. I don't want to write a spoiler but I'll just say there is a great twist at the end. The direction is great and the fact this film has won a string of awards from best actress to best film speaks for itself. Low budget, but high quality.

Actually quite enjoyed this film. It's a little slow to get going in places, but overall I thought the subject matter was pretty interesting and had a good twist that I didn't see coming. I see it's had some poor reviews but I certainly wouldn't rate it that low. For a low- budget effort I think it's worth a watch!

This is not a ten, but its far from a 1.The acting is not real good, you can tell most of the actors are acting, including the two main characters. Good actors seem like real people when they do their character in contrast these actors seemed like actors trying to be real people. I did think the homely black woman was a real cop though, so kudos to her for selling her character. Most of the others were adequate, they did not bring the movie down.The real strength of the movie lies in its script, the story line. You are not given a body count, special effects or a gratuitous booby count, so a lot of modern viewers may not be that interested in this movie.You are given an interesting movie and pretty good direction,
