I read somewhere that this superlow budget movie was worth to watch. I think it was on the top list of sci-fi movies of some critic. I remember downloading this movie long time ago, but after watching 3 minutes i turned it off. I though i got the wrong movie. What a big mistake.

It´s really easy to find torrents of this movie but i would recommend paying the online rental so the filmmakers get some money back. You won´t regret spending the money.

What an amazing movie. Leaving apart the budget, the fact that they shot with a HVX200(or a dvx100 not so sure) and that it is a really small movie, I have to say that it is trully a captivating film. Just look at the rating at IMDB.

I couldn´t find any threads on this forum discussing this movie. I think cinematography is just superb. No fancy shots or complex lighting, just a nice drama with some people in a room that doesn´t look cheap (like 99% of things shot with prosumer cameras).

Congratulations to the filmmakers.


Mid-spoiler alert: those of you who love Highlander won´t be dissapointed with this movie.

It is quite incredible, and I would call it the ideal example of what can be done with few resources. Almost all in one room, a short list of characters, no action sections, yet somehow it kept my attention the whole way through. That's a rare ability.
 
I just watched this movie. Wow! I'm very impressed. Very good story, acting, script, etc. Thank you for recommending it.
 
My favorite find of 2009, I watch a lot of Indie stuff and this is a good one great great screenplay by Bixby.
