Danny i Vic to dwójka byłych skazańców, którzy poznali się w więzieniu. Zaplanowali oni porwanie dla okupu córki bogatego biznesmena. Danny jest młodszym i bardziej nerwowym z nich, kiedy Vic jest twardszy i wzbudzający przerażenie. Po próbie ucieczki Alice, Danny odkrywa przed nią swą tożsamość zdejmując kominiarkę, która do tej pory ją ukrywała; dowiadujemy się, że oboje się znają. Danny tłumaczy, że wymyślił plan jej porwania dla dwóch milionów funtów okupu, które po odebraniu ich Vicowi podzieli między siebie a Alice. Ukrywał to przed nią do tej pory, aby porwanie wypadło „autentycznie”. Alice przerażona tym planem postanawia spróbować ucieczki później. (Hagi)

I often say that if I were to commit a crime, it would only be the kind that wouldn’t need any accomplices, and this film is another reason why. After a long time, the Brits have managed to make an interesting chamber drama that only needs three actors, one room, a forest, a cabin, and several minor props. At the beginning, the script works very smartly with the viewer’s expectations, but calms down a little after two surprising twists (fortunately, I don’t think it could have survived another somersault), and the ending manages to balance things to (almost) everyone’s satisfaction. I have a weak spot for this kind of thrillers and the above-par rating is a given.

A bucket of puke and three excellent actors. Seeing as this is Blakeson’s debut, hats off to him: the directing is flawless, but the screenplay suffers from the overly large number of unexpected situations. P.S.: The opening ten minutes of "preparations" is perfect.

Quite a lot of value for a few bucks. An attractive victim, two interesting bad guys, a great atmosphere, a traditional cold British style. The creative newcomers took on a stylish everybody betrays everybody story and it turned out solid. It's a pity the first part is so well laid out, because it starts to get a bit thin towards the end. But the potential for the future is huge.

A great opening, then a decent atmosphere, which is gradually diluted in the over-complication and stupid actions of the characters, and then a decent ending. Gemma Arterton's performance didn't impress me at all. Looking at her I constantly felt I was just watching a pretty British actress playing a kidnapped girl, and I was much more impressed with Eddie Marsan. Three and a bit.

A proper drama can be made with three actors, especially when you take two men who want money, and one girl whom they kidnap in order to get that money. This is a film that, although slow-paced, is very good as a thriller. Furthermore, Gemma Arterton will show a lot here. Besides her physique, she also displays great acting abilities. And more actors were really not needed.
