Downright poor acting from all involved. I feel sorry for Liam Nelson being involved in such a poor movie. The story and photography is fine but nearly everything else is awful. Action sequences are so slow, they are almost in moving in slow motion, and the dialogue is really terrible.

What an utter waste of time. I wouldn't even call it a film school project, but rather a high school level project. The idea itself I suppose is OK; the execution just awful.

If I have to write ten lines of text about the movie, I will say that the story is awful, the acting is even worse, and the fact that it has been shot on an iPhone just doesn't make it any more interesting. I wonder if the inspiration came from the Blair Witch Project, which, frankly, I also found to be a pretty awful movie, in spite of the cult status it attained.

I suppose the 15 ratings it has received prior to mine, must have been from friends and family of the crew (or the crew themselves) trying to do them a favour, otherwise it is beyond me how anybody would rate this utter waste of time above 5, even if you are a fan of the genre.

I really wish I had not spent a bit more than an hour watching it, and I hope that my review may serve as a warning to anyone considering watching it.

Much can and will be said about this movie, but I will keep it short. It is a great story about honor and respect for values that seem so distant in modern life. A great performance by Tom Cruise and Ken Watanabe. They deserve a lot of credit for this movie!
