S W Despite a promising start, good pace and an interestingly menacing concept this film has too many holes to really enable the viewer to maintain suspension of disbelief. This really affects its ability to sustain tension.The cinematography is stylish, the direction is good considering the limitations of the script. The cast obviously enjoyed the process and it shows with universally competent performances.The following contains spoiler.The script is the weakest part of the production. The sense of containment and entrapment is loosely maintained and irritating as the protagonist makes no effort to seek help when he has ample opportunity.There is a pivotal and lengthy scene that bemoans the expense of health care in America. It works for the purpose for which it was written but at the expense of non Americans like myself who have no emotional connection with this issue.The film is slick and competent but predictable and fell short of its promise.
AudioFileZ Did you love the suspense of the original movie "The Hitcher"? If so you may want to seek out "The Millionaire Tour". I say seek because it isn't a movie you've likely heard of. That's not bad in this case as it is quite decent and keeps you on edge much like The Hitcher did. I only mention The Hitcher because it was a modest movie with edginess that rose above it's humbleness, and so does "The Millionaire Tour".This movie starts out with a simple, quite possible, premise where a man and woman duo, working for a person deemed to be a prominent criminal called "The Roman", hijack a taxi and it's hand-picked occupant. The occupant is himself a con-man who has committed some big-time wrongs to people who don't go down without seeking revenge...or is he? As lower-rung criminals will do the kidnappers are a bit greedy: they employ a graft called "the millionaire tour" to extract as much from their target as possible before handing him over to the man. Things get complicated adding to the suspense mightily.What you have here is a well-crafted thriller. It seethes and builds on the humble plot it has employed. In other words, a spartan movie that rises above the low-budget with its fine screenplay and good characterizations by those involved. Speaking of the cast, you may have seen several of the main players as they're highly photogenic, but it is likely you will recognize only one by name, Dominic Monaghan. Dominic has had some high-profile roles, the best known has to be playing the character of Simon in Lost. He's a good character actor - in that realm it is knocking on being A-list status. He doesn't disappoint here. The supporting cast, while unknown in name, deliver their character's roles in excellent fashion too. When given the chance I'm always amazed at what relatively unknown creative people can achieve when presented a worthy palate.If you like slow building suspenseful movies then this one is a no-brainer as it better than many big budget fiascoes whose suspense is based on explosions and body counts.
solidussoft This is my first review of a movie, because I felt like I had to write about this one. The movie felt somewhat like one of my favorite movies 'Collateral', though the speed in which this movie acts out is a bit faster.The movie starts with a man on the airport, walking down the street, till he's offered a ride by a taxi-driver, which he takes.Now we start with camera position in the cab, and we the cabdriver and man(protagonist) start having a conversation. I won't go into many detail, but from the very first lines it grabs on to me. It felt like the quality of conversation in the movie 'Phone Booth'. I don't feel like giving any more information away of this movie, you have to watch it yourself, though I must say, I was amazed at how the story enrolled. It takes the story from the start to a bigger and bigger boiling point, and I could really identify with the characters.The performance is great of the actors, and it was fun to see Dominic Monaghan (Lost) play a different kind of role, than we are used of him.I found the music terrific. Be sure to turn up the 'Bass' of your sound- system, cause it gives the extra ambiance to the movie.I was surprised this movie got only a 6.0, though there haven't been a lot of votes yet. I give it 8 out of 10, because of it's great grabbing story.So if your into psychological thrillers, it's a must see movie!
jcollins-331-153086 This film is a web release movie only, which is probably the reason why there is hardly any information about it plus zero reviews.I watched this last night as it was premiering on Sky Movies, The fact that I knew nothing about the film was the reason why I wanted to watch it....so I had no preconceived ideas about what to expect. I have decided to write this short review as I cannot find any-other reviews out there and I believe this film needs to watched.I'm not going to go into any detail about what happens as I think it would spoil the enjoyment, but what I will say is that it's a very good film indeed. It starts well (well enough to keep me watching, as my patience with films these days runs very thin) and ends strongly indeed. It's tense, gripping and enthralling. I was enjoying this film so much that halfway through I began to worry that the ending would be a letdown, it certainly wasn't, if anything it goes up another gear. It's very rare these days that the endings of films live up to the rest of the film, however,in this case it certainly did....and then some.The cast is extremely strong, it would be wrong of me to highlight a particular performance as all principal actors/actress were on top form. I would like to say though that Dominic Monaghan particularly stood out for me as I have never seen him play this type of character before.Apologies for the vague review but I don't want to give anything away as i believe too much information would dampen your enjoyment.
