Clever concept, great pacing. Mena Suvari is sensational as a conflicted storage unit employee. The story is engaging and original (again, storage unit) and the bad guys are not cartoon cutouts. The shots, lighting and angles help capture the sense of both danger and claustrophobia - in a weirdly reminiscent Das Boot way! - which mounts as the action progresses. Shoutout to Jeff Fahey for his performance, which lends tremendous nuance, depth and texture to the film. This is this director's (Carlos V. Gutierrez) first feature film and the accomplishment is more impressive when you consider the budget.
