The greatest movie ever made..!

I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Anyone else bothered that he didn't try to call 911 right away? it's just ridiculous that he has a phone but doesn't use it at all.

The whole thing is just so very bad. The acting is bad. The script is bad. The twists are bad. The end is bad. It's completely unrealistic - how did the guy's cell phone work so well in this metal room and in the intense heat (I've left my phone in a hot car for all of 30 minutes and it shuts itself down). It's just bad.There's really no mystery as to "why" this guy is in the situation he's in. He's clearly an enormous a-hole. So you're not kept on the edge of your seat wondering why.There's really no mystery as to "who." I don't know if it was bad acting or an intentional attempt to give the viewer a hint, but it was painfully obvious from the very beginning. No wonder the main character was able to figure it out on his own.Why the guy's coworker gets wrapped up in this mess is beyond me. Guilty by association, I guess? At least there was a reason for wanting to kill the main character, even if it was the dumbest of all motivations, but I can't for the life of me figure out why the antagonist decided to do away with the coworker as well.I guess it at least held my attention for an hour and a half while I let my restless newborn sleep on my chest in the middle of the night. But that's about all this nonsense is good for.

From my point of view, this movie is not even nearly that bad as it is rated here. Acting might be a little bit soft but i think it is compensated with the overall thrill and somewhat constant "heated" pace. At first i had some second thoughts about watching this, considering the rating it has got, but also considering that many other way better movies have low ratings i told my self i could give it a chance and now i'm just glad that i did. I think you could easily give it a chance, might be surprised (in the good way).

Ryan, (Eric Balfour) plays a man trapped in a steel room with large heat lamps and an intercom to communicate with him. He does not know how he got there or why he is trapped inside.A voice starts to communicate with him demanding $1,000,000 be transferred into an account and he has two hours to do so. If not, the consequences are dire. This is the general premise of the film. I will not give away any more information to spoil it for potential viewers.The General concept has been used many times over, and this film, albeit somewhat different, could have been much better. Throughout 90% of the film, the viewer has no idea who is doing this (or why) it is happening to Ryan. However, as much as there is an somewhat interesting twist at the end, if one pays close attention to detail, you can get a pretty good grasp of what is happening.Another run-of-the-mill kidnap/torture film that attempts to keep you guessing the why's and how's. Balfour is pretty convincing as the victim but by no means is this one of his better performances. The ending, as mentioned had a somewhat interesting twist but was not very good at all. If fact, it was bad! All to neat and tidy in its wrap-up and quite contrived.I gave this film a generous "6" rating just because it kept my attention to the films end but don't expect a heart pounding thriller here. If you have 91 minutes to spare, you could do worse things with your time.
