I thought this film was absolute bobbins, I really did. And there's a sequel coming out!

I actually really enjoyed it. It's the first Tarantino film I've enjoyed since Jackie Brown and the first time i've thought Brad Pitt was convincing.
PS why not fly a message there.....

Only my own thoughts, and I could be wrong, but it seems a fairly low budget film with no (need for) special effects and the cast are all unknown to me.
The story is about a widowed father whose teenage daughter goes missing after meeting with friends for the evening. She stops responding to her father's texts and the friends who she was meeting with all deny every having seen her the previous evening. During her father's frantic efforts to find out what has happened to her he slowly finds out that his daughter has an entirely different life to the one he saw every day.
The entire movie is shot from the view through a webcam, or online news footage with text messages, emails, FaceTime windows popping up in view. At first I thought it was going to be really annoying watching this kind of perspective but the story really grabs your attention and drags you in and the perspective of how it's shot really adds to the film.
Despite it's low budget and unknown cast it's a really good film and there's a very clever twist towards the end that I didn't see coming. I really enjoyed it, as did both my kids (10, 13) and my wife. I might even watch it a second time.

The reviewers were right about many things - this is a bit of a mess, the plot's nothing new and the editing is terrible (I had to rewind several times to watch blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments which seemed to make no sense). But the action scenes are OK and I do enjoy Shane Black's wisecracking dialogue. It's certainly better than the two AvP films and Predators.
There's a tagged-on final scene which hints at a sequel, but I suspect the franchise will go back on the shelf pending another reboot in a few years' time.
Forgot Cruise can actually act!

I saw it a few years ago but Mrs Haych hadn't seen it so we watched it together. I remembered the main plot but forgot all the little subtleties and nuances of the film.
It has a really good cast, David Tenant, Rosamund Pike, Billy Connolly for starters with support from Annette Crosby and that guy who plays Bough in the Johnny English films.
While watching the wife and I remarked how similar the dynamic between the characters and the humour is to the TV series Outnumbered and sure enough it has the same writers, Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin.
It is very funny but it also deals with some very sensetive subjects such as infidelity, divorce, mental health and death but does so in a way that never cheapens the film in any way, the writing is just brilliant. It is also quite sad in some parts and extremely moving, but without losing that thread of humour at the right time to lift the viewer out of the sorrow of a tragic moment so you're not left feeling bereft even if the subject would normally demand it of you.
The acting is first class and the characters very well developed. Really glad I watched it again and would recommend it to anyone.
