A little like "The Vanishing", this film is very thrilling. There are times that I jumped, was sitting on the edge of my seat or wondering what was going to happen next. There were no times that I was bored! This was not a film I wanted to get out at the time, so uninspiring was the blurb on the back. The acting is good, there are some famous faces that, if you don't recognise immediately, you will be srtaining your brain trying to remember where you've seen them before. The ending is a little far fetched, but right up until a few minutes before, you won't know what is going to happen.

Like 'The Vanishing', once you've seen it once, you know what's going to happne so the thrill loses its impact.
