A bit bland

Rating: 5/10 (19 July 2013)

With a concept like this, you could go above and beyond in the plot. This movie reminds me a lot of Skyline, which consisted of people running around in a house for the entirety of the movie. Now, I can't say I may have expected something better, or even imagined anything that would be better, as I haven't really thought about what one may do in twelve hours of freedom.
If it were to be an annual event in real life, I would have been terrified to death of the concept. I can't imagine why any sane person in the movie wouldn't be at least a bit fearful of the events to come. It's unsettling how calm they are; they put too much faith into security, and that's what really hurt my interest.
Events were pretty predictable, but the movie wasn't exciting enough to watch more than once. I can't say I could come up with anything better (rather, I'd show a different scenario), but then again, you can only come up with so much for a two hour span movie.
