FOUR is a film that's far too low budget to work properly. The entire movie literally consists of four actors in a grungy old warehouse, with no lighting and seemingly no script given the constant, expletive-laden, and repetitive nature of the dialogue.The best thing about this film is a monologue by guest star Sean Pertwee early on, when he talks about other, better films like RESERVOIR DOGS which was a clear inspiration. After that we get the usual guy-strapped-to-a-chair nonsense, with lots of brutality and slight veers into torture porn territory.Sadly the direction is absolutely pedestrian, the script brings nothing new to the table, and acting from the likes of Martin Compston and Craig Conway isn't enough to tune in for. For a much better version of a similar story, check out the American B-flick SUSHI GIRL.

Oh it's one of those twisty turny thrillers where the husband kidnaps his wife's boyfriend, scares him a little then Sean Pertwee tells the husband that he should tell his wife, but then, Surprise! hes already kidnapped his wife and shes in the other room.But, it's not his wife, and it turns out to be, Surprise! Pertwees wife and she is sleeping with the bloke in the other room, so their is really no need for the husband to be there in the first place type movie.With a little sub plot involving a serial killer.It sound tosh, complete tosh, and for the most part it is, but thanks to Pertwee, the film is at least watchable. and it never out stays its welcome, thanks to the bonkers plot, and the ridiculous twists it keeps sending us.My only problem is with he guy who plays 'Husband'. he gets really annoying very quickly and on several occasions I was willing Pertwees character to give him a smack.So the film is nothing new, and offers nothing revelatory, but it's short, entertaining in all the wrong ways, and like I said, Pertwee is great, if you like Pertwee.

I probably shouldn't have watched this. I'd skimmed through some of the bad reviews but thought maybe it would still be OK. After all, I'm a sucker for a four-hander play, set in one location. Anyway, as you can guess from the title of this review, I should have heeded the message. It is a poor film. Funnily enough it seems clear that the makers have genuinely tried hard to make something good. It just isn't.The dialogue is poor and unrealistic, the writer constantly betrays his characters, scenarios are derivative and the movie just feels too contrived. In addition, although a useful premise to start with, the ending is far too weak. Less is more might have made for a more effective film. A better writer would've done too.

The chuckle brothers do a kidnapping, I honestly waited for them to throw pie at each others faces by the end of this film. It possibly the stupidest film I have ever seen. The dialogue is: to me, to you, type of lingo. Which is funny but in the wrong way and for all the wrong reasons. Unlike the movie the Village this film really fails as tries. The plot twists are quite predictable as they cover up all the obvious plot holes. This movie should come with a warning don't try this at home. Quite a low budget production entirely at one location. The actors we have seen before mainly from the soaps. 4 out of 10 for the humour
