2/10
Tedious, amateurish, poorly written and completely uninvolving
10 February 2013
Rob Lowe and Larisa Miller do what they can and give okay performances. But the rest of the film is a near-unwatchable mess. The production values are well-below par, the camera work is limited, the setting clichéd and lit in as an atmosphere-less way and the special effect substandard at best. The writing is stilted and gives no momentum whatsoever to what is going on with the characters and their predicaments, and the direction is entirely flat and characterless. The story is tediously paced and lacking severely in suspense or thrills, and I found it so bland and unbelievable that at no time was I compelled by it. The characters also manage to be undeveloped and irritating, as well as very poorly acted(reads very like go through the motions with no personality), Harry van Gorkum in particular overdoes his stereotypical villain role.

Overall, a disaster in almost every way. Only the efforts of the two leads stops it from being irredeemable. 2/10 Bethany Cox
