About this movie

A confused man wakes up, locked in a strange room, with absolutely no memory of who he is, or how he ended up in this situation. He is being held captive by a bunch of armed mercenaries, but as they don’t speak English he struggles to piece the puzzle together. Meanwhile, a mysterious girl fights her way to get to him, but can he trust her when he doesn’t remember a thing? With the clock ticking, he must figure out what is going on before it is too late.

Ratings and reviews

The story that was trying to be told was interesting...however the acting (mainly by the kidnappers) could really be improved on. For what it is worth, this film is confusing due to the scene changes and acting, but does manage to keep the audience entertained. I did not hate it, and don't dislike it, but it is not the best film there is. On its own, as it stands I consider this film to be enjoyable while drunk. It is said that many things sound great on paper, but fail I'm execution. This is one of those instances. Given better directing and dialogue, this could have been a great film. Thus, I recommend that this film be approached with low expectations, and who knows, you might just find it interesting enough to watch it the whole way through. P.S.: I may be biased and probably am giving this film a better score than it deserves, but that is due to the fact that stefanie joosten was in it.
