This real-time single-take shot film was certainly an edge of your seat tense and suspenseful ride. It's certainly an impressive feat as only his second full length film for short-film director Stephen Fingleton. I had my doubts at first - I mean what can you really accomplish in one take for 97 mins, but short-film writer Ben Conway (who makes his first full length feature film debut) managed to throw in some tense twists, curve-balls and even some amusing one-liners to keep me entertained the entire time. The story wasn't really revolutionary, but the way it was shot, and the fact this was all in real time, just made the writing that much more exciting. Moe Dunford as Budge helped elevate the story with great body language and mounting intensity. This is a great slickly crafted minimalistic Irish crime thriller and it's certainly worth the watch. A well deserved 8/10 from me. .

I liked it, decent acting. Similar idea in some ways to phonebooth. So yes all set in car and on ohone, but what i enjoyed was how cool headed he stood through all this hick ups in a short period of time. Wouldnt watch twice but was different. Dont expect violence or car chases as none of that.

Except for some very shakycam beginnings to near nausea (later it was obvious there was no elbowroom for a steadycam),the long continuous shot was impressive, settled down in the car, and only got better. The plot kept engaging my suspension of disbelief. As an early developer of low light photography, this film blew me away with its ability to create an hour and a half continuous and seamless night shoot with no lighting glitches. The occasional lens flare and defocus bokeh is pure art, at points creating a halo around our heroine, almost reflecting his moral character. Kudos to all Ukrainians at this key moment in history! You are fighting the good fight, even as previously reflected in this surprisingly great film. I'll have to watch it again to see if there was any editing (maybe the home invasion window pan scene? ;)
