Brilliant thrill ride, but it could have been better.

Rating: 8/10 (2 January 2009)

This movie does one thing perfectly: If provides pure thrill ride from 20 minutes into the movie until 1 minute before the end. Subject is hard to watch but important to be aware of it, everything works.
60 minutes from the moment when they were abducted until the end were probably one of the fastest 60 minutes in my life and I really appreciated the feeling those minutes gave me - edge of my seat, thrill ride. I don't have anything to complain about this time frame, maybe it could have been done with less Rambo stuff for realism but nevertheless pure brilliance.
However I really disliked begging and the end, too predictable, cliché after cliché, too mainstream.
But all in all, great stuff, you don't want to miss this one.
