    I loved it. Witty and exciting. Great script, great twists.

    Not great, but really not bad. Cool concept and good cast, but lacked something... Can't quite place what. Maybe it would be better if it kept to the 'one-room film' formula. The scenes on the outside with the cops were distracting and not really necessary for the plot...

    The pacing is slightly off, with the action switching between the imprisoned men and the police who are trying to find them, and what should be a mounting sense of urgency inside the warehouse (think Reservoir Dogs) falters and goes slack.

    After a whole lot of buildup, and a real letdown of a payoff, the only enigma left is why we should care.
  3. It all comes together at the end, logically and with a twist. But it's not a game that allows the audience to play along. When the story is controlled by whatever memories the writer and director choose to put in the characters' heads, you're always on the outside looking in.
