A slow burn start of building tension puts Jules Willcox’s Jessica in several scenarios that may very well get the hairs on the back of your neck standing and inspire the loudmouth theater attendee in all of us to yell things at the screen. If you’re at all a fan of creepy, tense thrillers or survival stories that evoke a certain “what would I do?” element of playing along I think this would be a good and suspenseful time.

A solid, survival thriller. It's kind of a slow-burn, but I never thought it wasn't engaging thanks to the strong performances from Jules Wilcox and Marc Menchaca. It's just a harmless, simple thriller and sometimes you need those and I enjoyed how brutal the violence got towards the end.

This was really good and the minimalistic approach towards its second half really works here. It does not do anything to reinvent the wheel but I found the kidnap to be too easy and some of the chase scenes not as exciting. Still this was a great watch.

Definitely not much to it but it's solid and well-made. A serviceable thriller.

7/10 (B)
