A Fun Ride While It Lasts

Rating: 7/10 (20 October 2007)

I enjoyed this movie a lot more than I expected to. The first two acts are great. It starts to drift into lameness during the third act, but trying to find a way to come up with a positive resolution must have been pretty tough. What makes this movie fun is the sheer hopelessness of the situation.
Another plus is that the movie takes a little more time than usual to introduce us to all the characters and set up the premise. Horror movies frequently rush through the setup. This one lets the action tell the story -- we're spared the stupid character speech that tells us the who set up.
The attention to story telling, combined with the dark setting, make this one a lot of fun. I just wish the ending had been stronger.
