    100% better than expected!

    I watched this film with the fear that I was going to encounter yet another budget movie thrown together with a loose plot and mediocre acting. Well, needless to say, I was proved wrong on all counts. The background story was built up nicely and the plot laid out for you to see clearly, but then it twists and makes you think, then twists again making you doubt your theories of what is really going on. Liotta, Garber and McHattie were brilliant and worked perfectly together. I wouldn't mind seeing this trio working together in the future. Dustin Milligan was a surprisingly competent and believable actor which was a breath of fresh air as I don't recall ever seeing him in film before now. All in all a very good thriller/suspense that kept me entertained. Give it a watch is all I can say, hope this helps!

    Good

    That was a pretty decent movie. What makes it decent is a combination of usual Hollywood film that brings you the amusement by the amount of shock applied and good old drama school. The shocking atmosphere is mostly preserved by certain amount of brutality and twist. As for drama, I really loved the way the director used the theater stage in the house were fathers were gathered to imply tension and very involving plot development. Balanced and interacted with the core plot in the movie, it made a very watchable feature film. Also, the movie does not bring the usual American picture of good and bad guys, but leaving you think about that yourself. It might be just my impression, but I think that the senior actors were better than junior. I do not say that the young actors were bad, just acting of the fathers was more superb!

    Well done!

    What happens when spoiled rich kids go to uni and make enemies? Watch and see! This movie is not a run of the mill rehash like so many put out today. This psychological thriller kept me on the edge of my seat for its entirety. It tells the story of an average young man and his family struggles. It also shows a bit behind the veil of students with low/no self esteem, as well as the effects of various social stressors such a financial difficulty, jealousy, and the effects of being a social outcast due to antisocial traits. Hence it provides a plausible explanation for the genesis of such evil acts. The plot twist is not one you will see coming! I must admit that the scary part of this movie is in its similarity to real life! Well worth the time to watch this flick.

    Thumbs up!

    "Are you kidding me" ? Ray L. in top form and overall superb acting by every one else too. I could sit through entire movie, and that is something. The character development was laid out very nicely. With the opening statements from the lead character, I could see without much effort, that perhaps This movie is a "real" down to earth film with the kind of depth most folks can easily consume. Also delivered in a language that is easily understood. Somewhat organized dialog but needed be for the act of justice, in a growing unjust world. Plot- Take your dream up a notch and chance it. The well thought out plan has a much better chance of coming through because , well your worth it. Expect the unexpected too, and also factor it in. As Ray put well in his business ethics talk in mid movie. We are all getting squeezed anyway. Some Great Flick here! Thanks.

    Very enjoyable mystery thriller

    Entitled takes your basic movie kidnapping ransom plot and freshens it up through good acting, plot twists and accessibility.

    Excellent casting. Each actor felt natural in their part and with some restraint to avoid overacting they gel nicely. The first character death is almost welcome due to the annoyance of his behavior.

    Here's the best part of the movie: As the plot moves along and the viewer watches with anticipation of the stereotypical progression, we are happily dealt nice little twists. No twist is over the top or pushing the limits of belief. A subtle film noir feel is mixed with an everyman identification.

    I'd like to see another movie like this one...

      Paul Dynan: [narrating] Why did I do it? I didn't do it out of greed or envy. I did it because there was nowhere left to go.

      Paul Dynan: See, I'm nothing special. I'm like everybody else - getting by, day by day, week by week, dreaming about that one thing that'll make everything all right. That one thing.
