I've never heard about this one until I saw it on Netflix. These types of direct to DVD or VOD type movies aren't always any good. Though the cast here makes it stick out. I didn't decide to look at it though until I saw people on Facebook constantly suggest it to others. It's directed by Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego who also did Apollo 18 and Open Grave. As for writer Nils Lyew this is his first film. So with all I've heard and with director and the cast I can only hope for something good.
Well that was unexpected. The violence in this movie is infrequent yet brutal. I swear some moments I was so shocked by I didn't know what would happen in the rest. This movie didn't joke around. It was short so it gets to the point quickly. John Leguizamo plays one scary villain. He usually plays really likable characters and for Pete's sake Sid in Ice Age. This was another side of him as an actor that really tests him. Patrick Wilson is a great lead with an intense presence throughout. James Belushi plays smarmy well and really makes you dread his character. The ending is pretty good. Oddly enough there is an extra scene after the credits which is pretty satisfying.
So I can agree with those I saw on Facebook saying this was a good watch. The characters were interested and portrayed well. Though I have to say John Leguizamo is the scene stealer. It's pretty violent, but it's infrequent. It may be tough to watch for some due to a few moments. Otherwise I definitely recommend looking this one up.
