2.5*/5.0*

A decent film with a bland premise. Right off the bat, it's clear where this film is heading, and it makes no noticeable effort to cover up its predictability in any way. Which is fine if the direction is outstanding, but it never gets all that tense or exciting, nor does it look like anything special.

The cinematography is decent, and the score is moody, but that too is by the numbers. The performances are decent but nothing special, the finale is formulaic, and the film has nothing interesting to say. It's genre filler with a budget. Not the worst film of its kind, but not one I'll be remembering for long.
