The film tells the story of five friends who are stopped by two border guards. Typical border questions turns into humiliation. They are then kidnapped, held in cages and tortured. Turns out they are ex-soldiers and they think the innocent friends are terrorists. The first 50 mins or so of the film is a decent horror film. But then it turns into a moral story about Guantanamo Bay and torture and the film loses the plot. I lost interest and have no idea what the private detective had to do with the plot. I also flicked to the end and have no idea what happened to the friends. Its a shame as the film does start out as a decent horror torture film but it feels like they changed direction and tried to justify the film. I think this ruined it as it was very well acted and had good suspension and effects.

The idea behind this film is great and the front cover depicting helpless individuals in cages is definitely eye catching. Then I read the back and was hooked and reaching for my wallet before heading to the tills. This is going to be another Red state, or from a horror and gore aspect, Frontiers. However, despite a well acted and promising start, things just didn't go anywhere. And as for the final third, point and what was it springs to mind. I have seen some disappointing films, such as the Hamiltons, but this, not only takes the biscuit, it is the biscuit. If you are in the mood to be bored, annoyed, frustrated I would suggest watching the new cartoon versions of scooby doo.........there is 100% more gore and suspense in an episode of that than is in this. I beg you not to watch as you cannot get those 90 minutes back

The suspense level of the movie is really high. On the other hand I can see why people wouldn't really rate the movie high. It is a tough sell. It's also something that is very close to Americans (and might offend quite a few). Of course this is not representative and while it is only a movie it does give a view of too much anxiety and fear and what that might lead to.It is shot on a low budget, but Karim Hussain, who also has worked as a director, has a good eye and his camera work is without fault. The acting while driven by high emotions never fails. And although you may say, that the movie does not really evolve into something bigger (there is not a big bang or anything else), it still may give you reasons to think ...

This movie made no sense at all! It was a waste of 2hrs of my life! It had a good beginning for about 45mins, but after that, all started going downhill. I am not a film reviewer, and I have never written any reviews before, however, this film made me so angry>:O that I felt compelled to register with the website and voice my opinion. One of the sub-plots might not as well have existed and it wouldn't have made any impact on the movie whatsoever! It is a shame that the film writers did not make enough effort to show consistency and plot progression. Instead, they patched up the film full of non sense; and what starts in a promising way leaves the viewers totally disappointed and puzzled.Very weird...and please find something better to watch and don't waste your time watching this!
