Trivia

Goofs
Andrew's car is a Mercedes 190SL Roadster. As it it started a couple of times, its distinctively lolling idle speed sound is heard.

In one scene, a person is unconscious in the same car with a garden hose leading exhaust fumes in the cabin.

There is smoke all over, but the engine appears not to be running.

Quotes
Dale: [as he avoids looking at her body] Grow up, Andy. So what's she like, this chick, huh? Does she talk like you?
Andrew: [softly] I suppose so.
Dale: You can look at me, Andy. Mm. You've never been to a strip club?
Andrew: No, I haven't.
Dale: So, how long has she been away?
Andrew: Six months.
Dale: You don't worry she's got her legs wrapped around some other guy by now?
Andrew: No. She's not like that.
Dale: Like what? Normal?
Andrew: Like you.
Dale: Let me tell you something, Andy. They're *all* like me.

8/10

interesting dark and edgy, very good effort

The film starts as it means to go on, straight into the story with very little character background and very little messing around, the pacing is carefully measured and it moves along perfectly

The lead male(reminds me of Brad Pitt) is excellent in the role, as are all the characters actually, and considering its mainly the same 3 people on screen the whole time in a small space it is done very well

The plot centres around a young couple who are on the run, they take the owner of an estate hostage and then a psychological battle begins

Never saw any of these actors before but would look forward to seeing them again!really enjoyed the flick the only issue i had was i thought the very end was a little weak, overall a very good watch and i highly recommend it as a film that you probably wont hear much about but it is excellent all the same
