From my favorite movies..

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The film tells the story of five friends who are stopped by two border guards. Typical border questions turns into humiliation. They are then kidnapped, held in cages and tortured. Turns out they are ex-soldiers and they think the innocent friends are terrorists. The first 50 mins or so of the film is a decent horror film. But then it turns into a moral story about Guantanamo Bay and torture and the film loses the plot. I lost interest and have no idea what the private detective had to do with the plot. I also flicked to the end and have no idea what happened to the friends. Its a shame as the film does start out as a decent horror torture film but it feels like they changed direction and tried to justify the film. I think this ruined it as it was very well acted and had good suspension and effects.

Awful, Awful Horror Movie, If actually you can call it that. I don't want to talk about this movie very much, simply because it's just not worth it. My only goal is to prevent anybody else from losing 90 minutes of their precious life to this crap. Yes, I regret wasting 90 minutes on this. The plot is just not there ! It's only two sick dudes torturing some poor bastards. And it's not even that. just a few scenes of that. It kind of wants to be political, but It's not at all. and it doesn't go anywhere. It's not critical of anything. That's just it. this film is nothing. Not even a horror movie. It's not scary. I would prefer cliché horror movies anytime. 'Cause I'd know what I'm up against and just skip the title. But movies like this are the worst. They are pure waste of good time. I'd rather play solitaire on my PC than watch this, if I were you.

Just watched this movie and first came here to simply give a rating to it. Then I saw the reviews and just had to disagree with most of them except the one from "dylan-chauvin- smith". Of course the main plot has been seen before, the whole teenagers taking a bad turn... but this one has to be one the most original take on it I have seen in a while.First there is the political dimension and statement about Guantanamo itself and how war can really mess people up in their brains. It speaks of the potential for horror of letting people with too much power and very little legal oversight. Being a lawyer can help when you have a problem with authorities, but once these are removed from legal oversight, and far away, anything really can happen. Just check wikipedia for Guantanamo, you'll get the idea.The detective coming in out of nowhere eases the tension created and just continuing with further torture would have made the movie just another one of the genre. A dark, voyeuristic thrill ride of sorts. Having him fail at rescue makes the movie much more chilling, at a psychological level.Leaving the movie without any definitive ending, if somewhat frustrating for the viewer with little imagination, is very successful at letting you feel the agony of indefinite imprisonment. Just think about it, really.

I just watched this film, and it was the worse film I have ever seen; so bad that I had to register on this site to leave the feedback.The starting 30 minutes was really good; good acting and a very interesting story plot. However, after their arrest and being kidnapped, things went down the hill really fast. There were no story, no historical, economical or any story line of any sort observed, and even by introducing a private detective things didn't improve at all. Furthermore, the ending was totally appalling; no indication to a sequel, no complete ending and not even any thoughts lead so that viewers can continue with the story as they see or prefer, in order to make the film more anticipating.I seriously recommend everyone not to see this film unless you have around 2 hours free time to do absolutely nothing, but then, watching 3 episode of friends back to back or repeatedly is much more fun.
