This film is an excellent example of how to subtly grow tension in an interesting and meaningful way. Whilst not perfect this film had me truly gripped.
The film does start a bit slow which may not be to everyone's taste but this allows the relationships between the kids and families to develop in to more than just generic stock characters. This helps us to actually care for their story which adds to the emotional tension later on.
Ethan hawk is fantastically unhinged and give and excellent performance as the magician. It's an unusual role for him to take but he nails it. The child actors within the film are a slightly mixed bag. The two main characters(the brother and sister) give excellent performances that show real emotional range that helps us connect with them. Unfortunately some of the other child actors are weaker and this does unfortunately stand out but considering they are all young actors they do a really good job and there weaknesses can e overlooked.
Overall I really enjoyed this movie and think it's worth checking out.

This film by no means is good but it's not particularly bad either. The actings fine, the pace of the film is good(90 minutes is exactly the right length) and the action is decent.
Overall is a bang average film that won't really leave a lasting impression on you but as a short popcorn movie, it's fine.
