    This movie was Worst movie i have ever seen ...............

    Normal movie

    It's quite good movie. Not even it is quite small budget movie, it contains good cameraman work, good producing and work of actors. All visualization is good and all movie is comparable with big budget movies. From the technical side - movie won't disappoint viewers.

    But story have some disadvantages. All storyline is quite clear, but for me some acts of characters looked inadequate for their current situation. And because these acts is a piece of story, the story starting to look to me not so hard, serious and shocking. But the last 15 min will shows, that all movie lead you to situation without salvation. After all - our all life contains a lot inadequate act and decisions, and Pressed story could become your story (in the worst variant).

    As I sad, all movie is quite calm and slow. There aren't a lot of action, car chasing or big "booms". But all that calmness to me created scary atmosphere, because it looked so real and it could took place in my neighborhood.

    In summary I can say, that Pressed is normal movie (100% not bad, but is it good - it's a question for each viewer).

    Monotone very slow movie

    This movie seems to be good from the description and actors in it but it never really takes off. The entire movie is monotone and doesn't deserved to be called a thriller! I love movies with this kind of story line and in this genre but I'm here to save you the time and let you know I believe you'll be very disappointed and realize you've lost an hour and 45 minutes of your life.

    The actors are decent, I believe the main role may have been better suited for someone like Mark Whalburg. And it's almost like there's 2 totally different plots until the last 30 minutes of the story. Definitely not as thrilling as desired. The idea is a good one just not carried out by the staff to its potential!!

    Pressed ... the "on" button (glad I did it)

    I think this is another fine, low-budget Canadian movie. Well shot and performed, with real-life characters and situations, the former being accurately depicted. It's a just stuck-in-a-bad-situation-getting-worser-and-worser case, but with a refreshing point of view. The storyline is original, the cast delivers an excellent job, Luke Goss has charisma and Donnelly's directorial style is effective. Not outstanding, but definitely well worth a watch. It's the kind of small movie with no artistic ambitions, nonetheless fueled with talent and passion. After "Gunless", another good example of highly-entertaining feature film.

    Slow - Zero Excitment - Confusing Storyline - "NOT" Worth Your Time

    01/13/2019 Proof that even big names like Luke Goss can NOT lift a bad storyline. Dull, dead from the start and never improves, not even the unsatisfying ending i.e. "Waste of viewers time". Bon Appetit

      Late in the film, a business jet is seen taxiing. A couple of minutes later, a similar jet rolls to a stop at the hangar. They are clearly meant to be the same aircraft. However, they have different paint schemes and only the first has a window in the door.
