Concrete Plans

Well written and acted, good characterisation and unusual plot with a few twists and turns to keep it interesting. Some flaws but overall not bad and worth a look if you want something different for a change rather than remakes, rip-offs or repeated formulae.

The film has it all - gore, humour, intellect. Not for the faint hearted.

This is a strong structured thriller showing how a group of men can become monsters over something like money. A pretty good cast star in this film and I thought the pacing all the way up to the climax were good and showed each of them and how it took a tool on them.

An aloof ex-army man is renovating an isolated, inherited property and employs five construction workers to live on-site for the duration of the project. When payment is with-held, tensions gradually build ...

It has a great script and is well acted. The makers have achieved a lot on a (presumably) low budget. It doesn't take long for the movie to become quite gripping and, once it kicks in, manages to hold the tension throughout.

Perhaps a bit unoriginal and unlikely to stand out in the taut drama/thriller genre but is a solid movie and well worth watching.

I read the 1 star reviews and they are wrong; A 1 star means its the worst film you have ever seen so when a reviewer leaves this for a movie like this then you can pretty much disregard them as a proper reviewer along with the usual 9 and 10 star shills as well.

Although the film is not going to win any oscars. it has some excellent acting performances from literally every member of the cast and some particularly harrowing well acted scenes and i was guffawing at one point in the midst of the brutality which is most unusual - some of the lines are pure class "Is he dead? Well he is not doing the Macarena" is my favourite line delivered with aplomb and what can I say but Steve Speirs is just brilliant in anything he stars in.

Goran Bogdan almost steals the show but the whole cast made the movie so much more than its small basic script and it never lost any pacing or interest for me and based on its low budget they did a splendid job so I am giving it a fair above average 6/10.
