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.

Even with just three actors, you can create a proper drama, especially when you have two men who want money and a girl they kidnap to get that money. This is a film that, although slow-paced, is very good as a thriller. Additionally, Gemma Arterton reveals a lot in this film. Besides her body, also her great acting skills. More actors were truly not necessary.
