    True?

    So I'm trying to figure out if this is really a true story. It's being advertised as a true story. But other reviews say that is a not a true story who is correct? Also who was injected with the pentanol? Did he shoot her or did she shoot herself? I thought the movie was pretty good, a bit suspenseful. One part of the movie that was not convincing, how did she pull him up through the elevator hatch? Any feedback on this movie would be appreciated. The end was a little confusing. Did Jack die at the end of the movie? What had happened to the security guard? Again is this a true story? I would recommend watching the "Golden Glove" that is a true story.

    Secret Sentence

    This movie reminded me of the 1991 movie "Closet Land".

    Movies with a minimal amount of actors can sometimes be overwhelming with the lack of on screen charisma, but these actors are powerful enough to draw my attention for the limited amount of time they have to tell their story.

    What I like best about this movie is the ending leaves you with the question, "What was said in the middle of the movie?" If you had seen this in the movie theater you would have left with an unanswerable question. Classic move on the writers part, and classic movie for people that like movies.

    why this low average?

    Nice movie, well done and not at all obvious. I don't understand why it has an insufficient average

    Americanism

    How can.people.make such deplorable films? The acting is juvenile ,the dialogues contrived and the story line seems to be trying to create something out of nothing . The children seem to be obnoxious ,the woman a dumb erican blond and the father totally lost in space . However ,when you think what kind of audiences this film addresses,it's totally understandable. American films ,like almost all things American,are naive, unintelligent pieces of trash . And now the question arises : is there one single person with an IQ higher than that of a radish that would buy a ticket to watch this ? I for one stopped watching after 15 minutes.

    Not Bad

    So this is low budget but it is a good find. I'd rather give it a 6.5 rating because it is better than 6 but not quite a 7. This has a limited cast and it is shot mostly in an elevator. I like watching films like this just to see if people can come up with some interesting scenarios for such a tight set. It really isn't too bad. The acting is decent for the most part. It was filmed well and I liked the story. I was a little unsatisfied with the ending but only because I wanted to know more. This worked out just right for my rainy day and nothing to do.
