INTRODUCTION: So I have zero recollection of this movie coming out in 2008. It seems like a cheesy b movie flick, that ripped off the SAW.
PLOT: Dude gets sent to prison, gets out and hunts down the jury that placed him in jail.
ACTING: Very good, but still not at the A liist potential. You’ll remember most the faces from various other movies and tv shows, but not a single actor is a major notable.
WRITING: Not bad. Not a single bit of cringe.
FX: Nothing new under the sun
STYLE: Works for the film but looks dated
TENSION: enough to work for the movie and keep you intrigued, but the payoffs aren’t there.
CONCLUSION: This movie has and interesting premise and when it works, it works. Sadly, it relies too much on being a cliche horror movie that wasted it potential to be a really great movie. The ending is especially anti-climactic.
2 1/2 out of 5 stars
