The dialogue was good (screenplay), and the acting was fairly convincing, but the endgame was very obvious. I watched this because I love psychological thrillers like this, however after 20 minutes in, I knew what was going on. The story overall was good, but the direction it took was made for simpletons. If you can't figure it out, you need to exercise your brain more often.

The core of this movie is so ridiculous. hostages are not afraid and act super normal . and the EYE thing is most ridicules part of this movie!

I originally hated his movie. Seriously. I thought this was going to be yet another Saw rip-off. And the acting, dialogue, and direction was so horrible, I barely got through the first 30 minutes. HOWEVER, there is a twist to the ending that shocked the hell out of me. It was so good that it made my original contention make perfect sense, and for that, I am impressed. Didn't see that coming. I'm trying not to give too much away here, but I'll say this, stick this out to the end. Trust me, it will all make sense.Even the "government program" thing solves my only contention (illegal detention).Great movie with a nice twist ending here. Recommended.6/10

I seen bad TV-movies, really cheap, with budget around maybe 1 000 or 2 000. But this! This something, internet companies like amazon, netflix, hbo - invest good money in series, but original films - one lousy another. This film maybe cost around 200 bucks, and half of that go on food. And maybe actors play for this food. Who knows? But script not so bad, just... call this theatrical play or something, don't sell it like it is a film, because its don't. And Vincent Pastore! Oh my god! What an actor... really, he was ridiculously bad.
