In upcoming psychological thriller 10x10, Luke Evans plays a man who kidnaps a woman and locks her away in a 10x10 cell. We have a trailer for you to watch and it looks like the story will take some interesting twists and turns. As you'll see, things aren't as they seem. It's revealed that he is trying to "extract a dark secret from her past." Here's the brief synopsis for the film:
Just a few days from opening her new business, Cathy's (Kelly Reilly) fresh start is interrupted when she is attacked, kidnapped and locked in a room. She assumes the kidnapper (Luke Evans) wants her body or her life, but he is after something simpler… her name.
The movie actually looks like it could be really good. I'm curious to see how this story plays out and comes to an end. I'll definitely be watching it to find out.

"This is only going to end one way..." Vertical Entertainment has unveiled a trailer for a kidnapping thriller film titled 10x10, the feature directorial debut of English filmmaker Suzi Ewing. This twisty, psychological thriller is about a man who kidnaps a woman and keeps her locked up in a 10x10 room/cell, hence the title. However, the reason he's keeping her there is not for the reasons you might expect. He's trying to "extract a dark secret from her past." Luke Evans stars along with Kelly Reilly; the rest of the cast includes Olivia Chenery, Jason Maza, and Noel Clarke (who also wrote the screenplay). This looks solid, though I'm wondering if the reveal at the end is really going to be that interesting or just forgettable. Take a peek below. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Suzi Ewing's 10x10, direct from Vertical's YouTube: Just a few days from opening her new business,...
