Davidhill221173 The idea behind this film is great and the front cover depicting helpless individuals in cages is definitely eye catching. Then I read the back and was hooked and reaching for my wallet before heading to the tills. This is going to be another Red state, or from a horror and gore aspect, Frontiers. However, despite a well acted and promising start, things just didn't go anywhere. And as for the final third, point and what was it springs to mind. I have seen some disappointing films, such as the Hamiltons, but this, not only takes the biscuit, it is the biscuit. If you are in the mood to be bored, annoyed, frustrated I would suggest watching the new cartoon versions of scooby doo.........there is 100% more gore and suspense in an episode of that than is in this. I beg you not to watch as you cannot get those 90 minutes back

ujaldi The whole movie starts pretty thrilling and interesting but after 45 minutes just gives up and stops the story. No kidding, the story just stops to exist - nothing ever gets revealed - and then it just ends.100 minutes of my life I will never get back. The actors were OK but let's be honest I don't watch a movie just because of good actors, especially when no one seems to know what they are acting for.All in all - not worth watching. You wont find anyone who liked it (unless being related to one of the crew or getting payed for it).I don't even know why they added that private detective after 47 minutes, gave up on all the main actors (except the bad guys) and went with a storyline that felt like just made up to find (a crappy) ending.

Fred Vay 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.

sepand_pourteymour 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.
