Sob Custódia

Film exceeds the expectations, given the budget limit. It works with what it has, turning closed set with limited opportunities into a strong plot point. It has quite well-written, down-to-earth story. Characters are believable, consistent and strongly motivated each by their own struggle in life. Decent to great performance overall, depiction of physical anguish could sometimes be better, although it's but a drop in a sea of tense character showdowns.

Camerawork is on a whole different level, keeping you immersed in a story, and the set is incredibly well-put together. Keeps the atmosphere and doesn't have any "filler" moments just to extend the length of the film, so watching it is quite engaging.

The movie is well-paced, with great twists here and there, albeit it's quite easy to figure out who is who midway through the film. Not a disadvantage, per ce, and I would even rewatch it to take a closer look at some specific details I might have missed the first time.

Good film, can definitely recommend for those who have a couple of hours on their hands.
