Crated

There are some movies where everything is right for what seems a good 2 hours of entertainment. Naturally you spend the 1st 15 minutes uncovering the who where and why before getting down to the good parts. Thank god for remote controls to help me through the 1st 40 minutes. After that I have no idea. The cast, the plot, the location, all were there. Sadly the director never showed up and they pulled ideas out of a hat to finish the movie. It could and should have been better. I do not put this down as a spoiler but if you are one day locked in a box and when you push against the wall and you can see daylight between the window frame and the wall, it generally suggests it is a house of cards and will implode with one decent kick. It just didn't make sense.

Literally the first 12 minutes of the film were so boring that I stopped watching. Like, we get it, this guy is trapped in a crate. But do we need to watch three minutes of close-ups of his fingers trying to dig out screws from the crate using his car keys? Do we need two full minutes of him slamming his shoulders and feet against the walls trying to break down the crate?

If it's supposed to create a feeling of tension of suspense, it doesn't. It just makes you feel like they had an idea and very little content, so they were forced to create filler footage in order to make the film last an hour.

Good idea but the film is low average,it's watchable but very simple

It's all about context. Compared to a Hollywood blockbuster this wasn't awesome (although I've seen Nicholas Cage and Jackie Chan movies that were worse), but given the budget constraints they made brilliant use of their resources. Intriguing story line, good pacing, convincing acting of the main character, decent support actors, nice cinematography, an open ending that leaves you wanting for more. There are worse ways to spend an evening.

Honestly, I don't understand the end of this movie and what the director want to mean but I like it
