Another viewer commented: “Not bad. Will have you at the edge of your seat and the end is a bit of an eye-opener – good watch.”
One reviewer enthused: “This is highly engaging and well paced for a movie that takes place inside of a box. Ryan Reynolds acted his head off in this movie to keep you entertained. You probably get to see every angle of his head you can imagine!”
“I still wonder what demons are hidden in Paul Conroy’s closet and why he was so reluctant to give out some information to people that were trying to save his life. The other characters he talks to over the phone help keep the movie on pace. Out of all the genres this movie is tagged as, I am surprised it is not tagged as a tragedy.”
Another viewer chimed in: “This film was definitely the most thrilling and dramatic (a good dramatic) I’ve seen in a very long time! Reynolds really put his heart and soul into this film, along with keeping the humour that made him famous with him too. It can be a bit boring sometimes and there’s no action to love, but in a movie like this, you don’t need action to be a good film.”
A fifth assessment mentioned: “Ryan Reynolds gives the claustrophobic performance of a lifetime, allegedly at the cost of some of his own mental health, but the final product is both a well-shot tight-space thriller, as well as a strongly written observance of the value of a ransomed person.”
Another viewer enthused: “This single-set location thriller will give you intense claustrophobia, panic and thrills… in a good way. It’s amazing how they can make a full-length film set entirely in a box this engaging. This is probably Ryan Reynold’s best performance, who is literally in every single frame of this film.”
