Terrific psychological suspense movie


This is what the drivel 10 Cloverfield Lane should have been. An incredibly overated film about 3 people I could give a shït about doing much of nothing for a mind numbing 100 minutes with zero suspense.
This movie on the other hand gets it right. Essentially a 3 person piece with Jane and Fishbourne trading cat and mouse roles with the life of a little girl hanging in the balance. Psychological warfare throughout as both characters trade barbs, insults and bullets to come up on top. Suspenseful throughout with likable characters ( even the villain till the cop gets there ). Couple of surprises toward the end; one featuring that final shell. Highly recommended.

Is the girl hot? Like she's been drinking a lot of dairy products hot?

Hot? Wow...

Agreed, I wish there were more situational films, they're cheap and there are so many every day situations in which chaos could happen.

I agree I enjoyed it a lot, makes me wanna watch more Thomas Jane, and give more direct to dvd movies a chance.

I find myself rewinding this movie a lot because of how amazed I am by some of the lines.
