This film is seasoned actor Brian Goodman's third dabble in directing, and I have to say, he nailed it. The 95 min runtime and perfect pacing just made this film fly by, all the while we were on the edge of our seats. Almost forgot to breath a few times, so that to me is great directing, and of course it helped that Butler just nailed his role so well, you could feel his anxiety. Acting doesn't get much better than that folks.
Then we have a film producer, Marc Frydman, present us his second ever screenplay, and again, considering he's a newb writer, he did not disappoint. It was nothing revolutionary, but he still managed to create a suspenseful screenplay in a very overused and challenging genre.
The sound and score was perfect, as was the cinematography. The rest of the casting and performances were great, but no one could've outshined Butler's stellar performance.
I'm shocked at the low reviews and ratings from the critics. As a production, this was great. And considering this was put together by newb filmmakers, that makes it that much more impressive. I'd recommend it for sure, and would probably watch it again. It was worth the anxiety and high blood pressure, and thus a well deserved 8/10 from me.
