Jeremy (Stephen Dorff) is a secret service agent taken captive. He is in a plexiglass box in the trunk of a car for about the entire film. Normally I hate these one man movies of a person being trapped, but this one had enough hope, like a carrot on a stick, to hold my interest. With his wife being threaten as well as other people, Jeremy is being pressured to divulge information about secret locations of the POTUS.Stephen Dorff did a convincing job in this one man thriller and then it happened. The ending. The ending made an improbable but interesting film into a laughter.8 stars if you don't watch the last 5 minutes.Parental Guide: F-bombs. No sex or nudity.

After 20 minutes of movie the story was way too unbelievable and on a "no return point", it has just two possible endings... Seems that the guy wrote this thing had "the great" idea of having both endings at the same time... The whole movie can be understood If you watch the first five and the last 10 minutes.So, long story short, this movie ended being lame predictable (x 2), and plus, it passed right through the barrier of the absolute ridiculous...Don't lose your time, cheap movie.P.D watch buried, it's a hundred times better movie.

Great movie, great acting. Usually when I watch this kind of movie with one actor and one location I really can't stand it, I find it boring and repetitive because usually the actors doesn't provide, but in this movie, boy did this actor provide. They were able to make the movie interesting from top to bottom, it doesn't get boring and you really wanna see what comes next, even though they doesn't let you see what happens on the outside, they deliver the story so well through his calls and dialogs that you can start imagine it and really enjoy the story and start connecting with the character.As for the ending, I really don't understand people's problem with it, maybe people who are over-analyzing everything saw this coming half way into the movie, but I simply sat and watched it and I found it surprising and really great, then another surprise in the ending to take a great movie and give you a controversial ending which I enjoyed because I like movies that the bad guys win in the end.All-in-all great film, I recommend everybody to watch it and I'm pretty sure most people will enjoy the hell of this. 8-10 for me.

I watched this movie despite reading reviews that the ending ruined the whole film. I hoped the reviews were wrong - unfortunately they weren't. The story and Agent Jeremy Reines situation is gradually explained to us. Much like the film Buried. The first 80 minutes are genuinely tense, with some great acting by the under-rated Stephen Dorff. However, all the build-up, all the time and emotions invested are totally let down by the wholly far-fetched and unbelievable ending. Not to mention, every actor in this who is not Stephen Dorff sucked royally. This was a great 80-minute film and a horrendous 90-minute one. For a much better use of concept, if not slightly more depressing, watch Buried with Ryan Reynolds.
