An average movie

Honestly, I didn't know what this flick was about beforehand and I didn't know what to expect. It is something I actually really enjoy, to watch a movie without knowing nothing about it. In my opinion, especially when you watch a thriller, it makes it much more exciting. Of course, there is the risk that you will end up watching some garbage but it is a risk I'm always glad to take. Unfortunately, this flick was still pretty weak. Basically, it managed to hold my attention for about 30 minutes but, after that, it was pretty abysmal. Indeed, it is one of these very convoluted thrillers with some repetitive annoying twists and I really had a hard time to care about the whole thing. If I'm not mistaken, they were maybe 5 different characters with a shady background and instead of leaving a mysterious fog around them, their back story was a little bit developed but not enough to make it interesting and too much to not become really underwhelming. I was reminded of 'Memento' which is a perfect example of carefully developing all the characters by giving ONLY the information you need in order to enjoy the story. Here, it is the complete opposite, they keep throwing at you some random information just to make the whole thing more 'exciting' but it had the opposite effect. So, most of this movie was actually garbage but there were here and there some good ideas and there is definitely something intriguing about agoraphobia. Anyway, to conclude, I think I was rather generous with my rating here, it is a pretty weak thriller and it is not really worth a look, even if you like the genre.

5/10
