The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
View MoreA film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
View MoreClose shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
View MoreThere is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
View MoreIf you're looking for a big budget Hollywood thriller, this isn't it, but for what it is, Interception is not as bad as some other reviews here would lead you to believe. This is one of those films that could easily have been a much better movie, but there were two major flaws. First, too many of the bit roles were done poorly, no doubt by friends of the producers and very possibly for free. In this case, they got what they paid for. There were a lot of stilted lines and just plain poor acting. On the flip side, the lead actors overall did a decent job - not great, and not always consistent, but not horrible, either. The second, and more significant, flaw of the movie was the script. While the actors often did a creditable job of delivering their lines, the lines themselves were not very good, and there were some gaping plot holes, including to some extent the basic premise of the whole film. Amateur mistakes, such as including unnecessary dialogue and a heavy reliance on profanity (nearly 80 instances of f---/f---ing alone), took what could have been an exciting story line and turned it into a sub-par production.On the other hand, this was far from the worst movie I've ever seen, and had some redeeming qualities. The lead actors showed promise and could have been better with a better script. There were a few twists and several moments of intentional humor that help keep any thriller on track. In the end, not too bad for a low-budget film, but one that could have been much better, even at the same price.
View MoreI am not joking when I give this movie 2 thumbs up. The star of the movie in my humble op ion was the actress who played Sarah. According to the movie credits her name in Ashley Morgan.I found her performance in this feature to be nothing short of Oscar worthy.. I can't wait for the sequel, I hope there is on.. Ashley was an absolute scene stealer. I found myself routing loudly for her character.I honestly found this movie very entertaining, I found it accidentally when go ogling the movie Inception.I now have seen both movies, and dollar for dollar I would rather watch Interception every time.I mean, I still don't understand the plot of that first movie, I don't know who was asleep and when,or even why the characters kept going to sleep and dreaming more and more dreams.At least, I could follow the plot in this movie. I bet dollars to donuts, Ashley Morgan goes on to become a famous actress.
View MoreIn fact, anyone who saw this silliness, was unscrupulous cheated. Potboiler like this, can be mocked up anyone, and then they collect money for tickets... If every nitwit pay to once see this film - authors get nice cash. I agree with all comments before me - there really can see cheap, poor acting, ugly script, plot and bad directing. As I said - stupid Americans. If you have some time to waste... Yes, I agree with "Don't Bother, 17 January 2009". This is a huge disappointment for everyone, who spend his money to tickets or DVD rent... You must sue "Clay Bros. Motion Pictures" - they had You. Really.

View MoreI came in to this film knowing it was low budget so keep that in mind when reading this.The Clay Brothers showed promise with better than average cinematography. The final scene on the bridge is a prime example.The plot was a little cliché', but tolerable. The acting for the most part was sub-par, mainly because it was really their first go-round if I heard correctly. John Will Clay showed flashes of brilliance despite the superfluous number of lines he had in each scene.Another bright spot in this film was the villain, Jack Bradford, played by Bret Hopkins. When the film was over, I felt like I would be seeing him in a Sundance movie in the near future.If you want to see future stars in the industry developing watch this film. It's not as bad as the other reviewers say and I think it is in international distribution currently.
