Best movie of this year hands down!

Please don't spend money on this.

Best movie ever!

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.

OK so the first half hour of this movie was tough to get through because the acting was very poor - or so I thought...After watching the whole movie I rate the acting quite good, especially from Maiara Walsh, who was brilliant. Initially the two guys in the van appeared to be complete half wits and I thought it was the acting but thinking about it, some of it was the characters they were playing - who were morons...Considering the very limited sets and budget, this movie delivers an enjoyable ride. Some of the violence effects are second rate and some acting is below par but generally good - and as I have mentioned - Maiara played a good part - and is drop dead gorgeous to boot :) 6 stars - OK this should really have got a 5 stars but gave it an extra one because of Maiara Walsh :)

I don't want to pretend that i am a movie reviewer, but as a movie goer and a mega movie appreciator myself, i feel the need to inform the readers of this site's reviews that they shouldn't dismiss a movie just because a dumb nerd with an obsolete idea about how a movie or the world, in general, should be like said it was average. There is nothing average about this movie. No way! I know, this movie doesn't deserve a 10 (of course!) but it also doesn't deserve the 4s or the 5s it's getting! The hell! Are you knuckle-heads, kidding me!? I want to know , just from pure curiosity, which are these "all-so- qualified" reviewers' favorite films! It seems to me that they have absolutely no idea of how a review must be done , story wise of course... I am not picking on, or have anything to say against , their ability to pick apart any movie from a technical point of view, but when it comes to judging a movies' structure and story they are utter morons... To cut the crap... Watch the damn movie and i guarantee you, you will love it! Real score should be somewhere around 8! But not a 5 or a 4! WTF???? Stupid imbecilic Bieber ass generation reviewers!

Bryan did a fantastic job on this first movie - its horror - its a fun ride. Maiara Walsh kicked butt, Danny Trejo was classic Danny (LOL) and Candy Man Tony Todd was a delight to work with. Hollywood's a beyotch to get into - those who try know that. It's not easy making a movie - its not easy getting distribution either and they did it. Two thumbs up.The movie was shot entirely in the van - all of it. Bryan was adamant about accomplishing that - and he did it. It's action packed - bloody - worth the time to grab a few beers, chips and popcorn and just go with it.

(Not sure if there is actually any spoilers in my review but I always tick the box just in case I write something that someone thinks is a spoiler; so they can't report me)This movie is what I would expect from Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez if they were to ever co-direct and co-write a movie. It has a simalair feel to some of their movies and also it has the kind of ultra violence that you'd find in Tarantino's movies (the kind that some people feel is out of place and unnecessary; but it's never bothered me and I kinda enjoy it in a weird way). Additionally, the screenplay is very tarantinoesque and is written in a smart way and has a simalair style to Reservoir Dogs. I'm not gonna go into the plot cause you can read that on the IMDb page anyway, but the actors who play the captors and the actress who plays the captive, are the people whom we spend most of the movie with. They are all unknown as far as I know but they all deliver solid performances and bring their characters to life in a really good way; thanks to the good writing the actors do have something to work with and the characters do have more dimensions than one e.g. one of the captors always seems nervous about everything and has a drug problem and is haunted by memories from his past when he was in the army. You may have noticed the names Tony Todd and Danny Trejo on the poster who both have top billing but are both only in the movie for just under five minutes. However, both actors are on top form and make their scenes memorable; Tony Todd plays a cop who pulls the captors over halfway through the movie and Danny Trejo arrives in the last five minutes of the movie and plays the leader of a Mexican drug cartel who is also the father of the woman being held captive in the van. A hell of a lot happens throughout the movie and there is so much more to the plot than is suggested by the IMDb plot synopsis but to give loads of details would be to spoil the story. The thing that amazed me the most about this movie was that 95% of it takes place in side the captors van and yet the director still manage to maintain a good atmosphere and the movie can be very tense in places. The only real complaint I have is that the practical effects are a but iffy e.g. someone's head gets blown off and someone else's fingers get chopped off and both times the effects look cheap, although I am glad they avoided using CGI because on the film's small budget it would have looked even worse, however ultimately this doesn't matter too much and doesn't make the movie worse.On a final note I would definitely recommend this to fans of Tarantino and Rodriguez and also to those who enjoy a good thriller. Also ignore the fact that this has been put into the 'horror' genre on IMDb, it has no horror elements and doesn't resemble a horror movie in anyway (believe me, horror is my favourite genre).
