To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it seemed to have a decent reputation, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, I’m glad I didn’t know anything about the damned thing before watching it because there were quite a lot of unexpected twists.

Well, I’m glad I didn’t know anything about the damned thing before watching it because there were quite a lot of unexpected twists. Eventually, the most striking thing about this movie was actually not to witness how this man would manage to survive this ordeal, it was to see how these rioters were portrayed. Indeed, right from the start, you would assume that they were all some worthless troublemakers but, slowly, you discover that they were actually dealing with some rather desperate men who were pretty much at the end of their rope.
