... View MoreThis film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
... View MoreWhen I viewed this movie it was named "Chained".It is a drama thriller about a Hollywood actor with a declining career who is kidnapped by thugs and held locked up in a remote cabin....I thought the lead players all give full throttle performances including the baddies and the film is mostly compelling and well presented.The very last sequence I found a little bit odd but despite that I was impressed with this picture and Ryan Phillippe is not someone who I had noticed before but he certainly has star quality:7/10.
... View MoreMorality tales are always difficult. Going after the whole fame makes one vulnerable thing too. Put "crazy fans" into it and you get something weird like this. And all that with one of the worst plans (if any) in recent memory. Things can go sideways and they will especially if you haven't really thought about them.Don't get me wrong, there are quite a few scenes that are difficult to watch, because they are brutal and you feel the pain just watching. Nothing that is exciting or fun in any way. Thankfully it doesn't stay on that track too much. Not the kind of movies I like to watch anyway, this lacks a bit of empathy. Ryan Phillipe might feel at "home" (no pun intended) with some of the scenarios (job and fame wise that is), but this won't help him get back on any Hollywood radar any time soon
... View MoreI wasn't too sure what to make of this when I first read up on it however, after watching it I was really surprised. The story line was really good, so was the acting. Maybe my expectations of the film were quite low as I hadn't heard much talk about it. So when I actually watched it, it exceeded the low expectations I had.This movie keeps you gripped all the way through and has some twists and turns you weren't expecting which is great in any movie!I'm no movie critic but in my opinion, this film is well worth a watch. Not the best kidnap film ever made, equally, it's still a good film with a strong story line and one I would recommend.
... View MoreThis movie is a super fun ride. Thoroughly entertaining, suspenseful, smart and funny you will not be disappointed with Catch Hell! The film is rich with beautiful shots and an awesome soundtrack that create a perfect backdrop for the clever and disturbing writing. This well crafted script has many surprising twist and turns that will leave you on the edge of your seat....wanting more. Ryan Phillippe's performance both in front of the camera and behind the camera is raw, real and quite impressive. My favorite take away is the film's message on karma. A dark comedy that will surely be a cult classic and stir a following with Ryan Phillippe fans. Don't miss the last scene.
