I'm a little surprised by the low rating this film has achieved. I think this is a surprising little film which I enjoyed and a far great successful risk taker than has been the case with even films with budgets far in excess of this one.
We have a storyline that begins with the abduction of a lady (Cathy) by (to her) an anonymous man (Lewis), and as it turns out, they are far more connected that at first she wants to believe. There's twists and turns, and some very dark moments too.
This feels like a theatre play on screen, as we see Lewis reveal why he has abducted her, and we find the secret behind Cathy. It's the acting the taut nature of the thriller that keeps you on edge. I thought it was very smart, and kept you on your toes. Both Kelly Reilly and Luke Evans are excellent in the lead roles and deserve a lot of praise for what they brought to the roles. Very impressive.
If you want a dark thriller and intelligent watch, I'd recommend this. Deserves more attention that it's got.
