| Quote: | | The film currently scores 100% in the 'Top Critics' Tomatometer at Rotten Tomatoes and has received a number of four star ratings in the UK press. Peter Shaw at The Guardian made the following comment about the much discussed plot twists: "There's twist and counter-twist, cross and double-cross, and with each narrative reveal comes a firework display of Big Acting". Ed Whitfield praised the film on the movie and literature site The Ooh Tray, calling it "an unnerving thriller that’s driven by the threat of violence and the sexual proclivities of its protagonists." He also singled out J Blakeson's "taut" direction and the "strong performances" from the cast. It was well received at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Cameron Bailey, Co-Director of TIFF,[praises J Blakeson's directorial style, claiming that "Not since Reservoir Dogs has a hostage standoff been handled with such intelligence".The film was nominated for the Raindance award at the British Independent Film Awards 2009. |
