I'm heartened to see how many people were impressed by this unknown gem. It's so hard to add to the other reviewers' posts. I rate movies by how close they come to making me forget I'm watching a movie and absorb me into the experience. I rate movies by how well they pin me to the screen. I rate movies by how much they look like a 'real movie' instead of a camcorder project. I rate movies by whether the actors have that chemistry that makes you care about them instead of wishing them dead. This movie is an unexpected treat on all counts and more, right down to the music. Even putting the red 5 on the menu screen was brilliant, though you don't know it until the movie is over and you see the menu screen a second time. The actors were actually likable. There is no stupid dialogue. The sense of danger is convincing. The ramifications of the events keep calculating in your brain all day after you've seen it, a VERY good indicator. In short it is unique and absolutely worthy of your time.
It ain't 'Session 9', but it's more satisfying than 'Pi'.
