Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

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

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Guy wakes up in a bunker unable to get out, not sure entirely what happened with a dying friend as his only companion. As the film progresses we get flashbacks to what happened as well as the introduction of additional characters who are all looking for the stolen loot. Confused film never really grabbed me. Its the sort of film that you have to work with to get anything out of since the film is jumping through time, but at the same time it breaks the cardinal rule of films of this type, namely you must be intriguing enough to warrant making the effort to put the story together. I was never engaged enough and after a short while I found myself lost because my attention wandered off. Well done I suppose, but not something I really needed to waste time with.

Maybe it's unfair to label this as British? A good number of the actors are from the UK, but the movie says it was filmed in Germany. Keeping with what seems to be a German theme, virtually every actor has a different accent. Not terribly disorienting, I have always found that annoying. Especially when a brother and sister have two totally different accents (as is the case here). When that happens, you know you're in trouble.Shut is pretty middle of the road as far as I'm concerned. The story is OK, but just OK. You'll spend the whole movie waiting for some plot twist or a good action sequence and then you'll be sadly disappointed when there isn't one. Or at least I was. But for what it is, a movie made on the cheap, it's...well...let's say it's "acceptable". None of the actors really stand out and the story is pretty lacking, but it's not without it's (slight) charm. Maybe a decent way to kill a rainy Sunday afternoon, but that's really about all the endorsement I'm willing to give it.
