Prisoner

A boring low-budget thriller that pretends to be something more. It’s about an American filmmaker working on a film set in a prison, he gets in the hands of a psychopath who locks him there, etc. And thus the viewer must follow the awfully boring actions of an unlikeable hero and an uncharismatic villain. Spoiler: If that wasn’t enough, the film has the two most cringe-worthy and clichéd twists ever. End of spoiler. The actors are not worth mentioning, the only thing that works is the prison setting. PS: Isn’t there any psychopath who could find inspiration in the film and take care of certain directors? (17.12.2007)
