I was recommended to watch this film two months ago by a colleague of mine at work. It's only took me this long just to write a basic review about the film but that's because it took me a long time to understand the point of the story. Let me start off by being a little generous (given the fact I rated it 3). The acting is very good and that's probably the reason I didn't go far to rate it 1. I really felt their anxiety and anger between each other and the things around them. I also felt a little claustrophobic with their performances and I guess due to the mood of the film they did that correctly. I haven't seen much of Tom's films but this is the best thing David Blood has been in. What I was disappointed about was pretty much 90% of the film. I HATED the cinematography! I couldn't be more aggressive about that simply because it kept fading/blurring out of focus and that really badly distracted me, taking me out of the story in so many ways - characters coming in and out etc. It didn't work and it just reminded me that this is nothing more of a student film AT BEST! Going back to my summary title "Didnt understand it" it's dead on. It's exactly what I think of the film as a whole in no more than 3 words. I despised the storyline. It's too short, too vague, clumsy and you simply couldn't tell what the hell was going on. It's just a giant mind-f**k to the poor audience and not in a good way. The only thing I understood that the main guy acting in it (Tom) was also the writer? Should probably stick to just acting if this is his first attempt.

Once I finished watching it I immediately stopped caring. Maybe it's because the characters and story didn't deliver what it's supposed to do: tell a story. I didn't quite get what was going on (if they were brothers or if they had a serious issue with their mum) I was trying to figure out what was going on rather than enjoying the damn piece. The ending is totally unreadable too as it's clearly supposed to be a cliffhanger, but cliffhangers can be satisfying to the audience. This I can assure you was not. I seriously wouldn't watch this film if I were you, because overall it was simply because it was unclear and pointless. Case closed! Phew, It took me two months to eventually write this review. Now I can spend my nights sleeping rather than screaming into a pillow.
