I had never seen any of the main actors before so I guess they are mainly unknowns (sorry if that upsets anyone), but saying that I think they did a good job. For a first time director he kept the story moving at a reasonable pace. I actually enjoyed this film.I certainly don't think this film is as bad as some say, but I don't think it is a 9 either. If these had been well known actors my score would have been lower.SPOILER ALERT:I don't know if this film is a very fast production of the recent events of the English so called model who says she was kidnapped while on a job in Europe. If so then the film deserves an extra point.If not then I hope the police investigating that woman watch this film as it gave her step by step instructions on how to give herself a major boost in the media. The timing of this film is extraordinary in either case.I couldn't help but think about the English model as I watched this film and in some ways it made the film more interesting.

What an impressive low budget film this is. It has a nice twist to it that I didn't see coming, so kudos to the scriptwriter. It is nicely shot and for a first time director,he has done an excellent job. Miss Burfitt shows some acting chops that belie her relative inexperience and Mr. King, the detective, is really very good. If I had a criticism it would be the dialog pace needs to tighten up to move the story along and give it more energy. This is worth viewing, there is talent in this film that should not be overlooked.

The fact that real live events have actually copied the premise of this film is a testament to the currency of the topic. I don't want to write a spoiler but I'll just say there is a great twist at the end. The direction is great and the fact this film has won a string of awards from best actress to best film speaks for itself. Low budget, but high quality.

This is not a ten, but its far from a 1.The acting is not real good, you can tell most of the actors are acting, including the two main characters. Good actors seem like real people when they do their character in contrast these actors seemed like actors trying to be real people. I did think the homely black woman was a real cop though, so kudos to her for selling her character. Most of the others were adequate, they did not bring the movie down.The real strength of the movie lies in its script, the story line. You are not given a body count, special effects or a gratuitous booby count, so a lot of modern viewers may not be that interested in this movie.You are given an interesting movie and pretty good direction,
