Thoughts before I watched this.
1. It's a truly intriguing concept.
2. I wonder how they are going to stretch this to over an hour and a half.
3. It seems like it's more than meets the eye.
4. It has a decent young cast.
5. The story is by director Levan Bakhia and Lloyd S. Wagner.
6. Both of whom did 247ยฐF another film with an interesting premise in ways slightly similar here.
7. The actual screenwriter Adrian Colussi is new to me.
8. It is time to see if this is actually as interesting as it sounds
"After an American tourist steps on a landmine, he is forced to watch as those around him begin to act out."
Thoughts while I watched this.
1. It starts off looking like a well designed miniature set and as we go in closer it becomes a live scene which I thought was pretty neat.
2. Is it the usual secret?
3. Oh when you start talking about things that happened in a place history tends to repeat itself.
4. Third wheel in motion hardcore.
5. That seems a bit too convenient.
6. Holy crap did not see that coming.
7. Well see this is taking revenge a little bit far, but it does make for a nice suspenseful setting.
8. It's funny Dean Geyer was in The Sand and the scene here reminds me of one from that.
9. Oh man my fists are clenched!
10. This guy is a bit forceful with his questioning.
11. You can never trust people in situations like this.
12. I really don't think I am going to like what happens from now on.
13. Yeah this guy's deals just scream trouble.
14. When someone asks you these kinds of things why the hell would you trust him?
15. I would really hate to be in this situation.
16. There is really nothing he can do with a mine underneath him and that's the scariest thing imaginable.
17. Honestly stepping off the mine would be the least of my worries.
18. I knew this would be tough to get through.
19. Oh this music makes it so much worse.
20. OMG so not right!
21. That makes everything all the more twisted.
22. I wonder if this is before or after.
23. Well that answers that.
24. I'm sure my next question will be answered as well.
25. When you do something like that there is no change of heart.
26. Dude that is no excuse.
27. What goes around comes around.
28. So maybe that was the explanation to my other question.
29. *Speechless*
30. I loved his reaction as he seemed like he really wanted revenge, but he didn't actually want to kill anyone.
31. That was such an excellently done ending.
32. I do wonder about some other things though.
Thoughts after I watched this.
1. There are a few points where it gets pretty uncomfortable and probably goes a little far.
2. The idea of the whole thing is pretty awesome and a nice new angle on revenge.
3. I like that they don't really deal with heroes or villains here.
4. The suspense is spread quite well given the setting it deals with.
5. There are a few plot holes here.
6. I found out the guy who plays Ilya passed away after I watched this.
7. I thought his and everyone else put on quite intense performances.
8. It's a bit longer than it should be considering some things get left behind.
9. I do think it is a really good movie even if it's a bit hard to watch.
10. It has a very nice psychological flare to it.
11. As far as revenge flicks go I would definitely recommend it as long as you aren't squeamish.
