Liked it a lot

Saw it an hour ago and enjoyed it a lot. Maybe the fact that there was constant danger of someone falling off the ledge that added to the suspense factor, but all in all - a thoroughly enjoyable crime-suspense movie. Not going to win an Oscar but really - who cares.

I also enjoyed it.
It is not the best action / thriller movie of all time but it is decent entertainment with good acting, a good idea (the ledge) and 90 minutes of non-stop excitment. The trailer told us the film will be something like Panic Room or Phone Booth. Maybe that is the reason why the stupid critics hate this movie.

I just cannot understand why this movie bombs. It is good. Nothing more, nothing less.

You have to remember that it was up against some pretty tough competition. It was being released the same weekend as The Grey and the weekend after had to deal with Chronicle and The Woman in Black. If it doesn't do well in theaters, I have this feeling that it'll make up for it on DVD.

I saw this movie with my friends this weekend and I really liked it too. I did not want to see it because of some critics I read on this movie. But since my friends wanted to see it, I went. It is not an Oscar winning movie but it sure is very entertaining. I had good time for about 90 minutes. That makes me think how many more fun movies I have missed before because of the stupid critics…

I liked it a lot too. Didn't think it was especially good, but the style of it, was so 80's, every cliche in the book, reminded me of childhood :)
So I enjoyed it a lot.
