Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

gaflick57 This film is absolutely camp, but unfortunately that doesn't make it funny, merely sad.It might have been possible to take the story line and produce a film with some credibility; however, at every odd twist and turn of the plot, the actors betray their characters in a most unconvincing manner. It's like they fell from outer space into the movie frame not knowing the kind of analytical and reasoning skills required to be even a rotten med school student. And that's just one example.There's very little dynamic tension (or should I say "pressure"), so that one often sees right through the action into the reality of the movie set. It's like watching a high school film project made on a single afternoon in the back yard, where the kids are trying to "act." On the technical side of things, location scouting, scenic design, cinematography, and editing actually are OK.I understand that Pressure was short on a tiny budget and in only a couple of weeks, but that doesn't excuse the lack of directorial insight and skill underlying the whole project.

sndupre7 Unlike the reviewers who low rated it(my supposition is there won't be many)I couldn't justifiably in good conscience rate this film any less than a 10. Standard grade television fare? OK, lesser known stars (who based on this, will probably have had bigger titles by now)and an apparently formulaic setup: two friends on a road trip, yadda, yadda, yadda, seen it before. This flick, however, transcends that fantastically. Oscarworthy? No, but only because its not the type of film people who raved about Black Swan want to see. It is not fast-moving running,jumping, and gratuitous shooting, nor deep, thought-provoking fare. It is the perfect popcorn film. Great situations (oh, NOW what do we do?),the coolest sheriff this side of R. Lee Ermey,a most-depraved,sociopathic villain who you are "entertained" watching and waiting for to "get his" (possibly accompanied by what I thought was a great one-liner) and somehow, a sensible conclusion. Anybody who slights it on police-involved circumstances and procedures I'd strongly suggest talk to some police or ex-police without a microphone and camera running. Highly recommended.

Jason Pritchett kerr smith is awesome in the action/thriller movie.I have never seen kerr smith play a character like this, and he does it so well. this is one of the best movies I have seen in years. I would totally recommend it. if you see this movie you will not regret it. if you like action/thrillers you will love this. on the cover of the movie it says trapped-convicted-innocent(something lik that) and that what cought my attention right from the start. I wouldn't mind watching this movie over and over again. this movie is about a bad cop that shots himself in the balls and blames it one an innocent human and of course everybody believes the cop so then steve (kerr smith) is on the run for his life.Steven pritchett.

cjnb Stars Kerr Smith, Lochlyn Munro, Angela Featherstone, Michelle Harrison, Adrien Dorval, Donnelly Rhodes, David Neale, John B.Destry Even if the brewskie is yelling your name from inside, don't enter desolate small-town bars – just one of the many messages Director Richard Gale is trying to convey through Indy thriller `Pressure'. A crossbreed permutation of polished road thriller and Richard Kimble intrigues, `Pressure' tells the tale of two med students, Steve (Kerr Smith) and Patrick (Lochlyn Munro), who discard the aforementioned advice, and on the way back to the land of the living, decide to stop off at an uninhabited bar. Realising that a cheerleading convention is in full swing, it looks like the boy's night at the bar will be a memorable one – until Amber (Angela Featherstone) decides to chat up the ostensibly ‘unavailable' Steve. Tempted into a possible one-night fling with the mystery woman, Steve follows her outside. But just as soon as he falls back on his offer to play around with her, the woman's unforseen associate hits him from behind. Seems she and Bo Cooper (Adrien Dorval) have set-up their latest prey. When Bo inadvertently shots himself in his ‘manhood', Steve panics, especially when he hears the man identified on his radio as a ‘Cop'. Knowing exactly what will happen to him if he is found in the obdurate situation, Steve darts back to the bar – grabs Patrick and they hit the road in a never-ending chase. Within hours, the state's police squad – lead by the corrupt, relentless Sheriff Cooper, also the shot man's father- and the FBI have imprinted the hunt one of the biggest of the times. With routes blocked right, left and centre, Steve must harden up and outmanoeuvre his indomitable antagonist, ultimately getting himself out of the mess. Though conventional, `Pressure' is a solid thriller, with some great performances, slick camera-work, tense music score and exceptional use of locale. Gale delivers a movie that doesn't let up for a minute, barely missing a beat over its 90 minutes. Kerr Smith proves he is more than one of Dawson's Creek's teeny cronies, turning in a forceful, notable performance as the innocent on the run. Lochlyn Munro (Scary Movie) adds weighty support as his friend and fellow target, Patrick. Where `Pressure' scores its points chiefly is in the production. This slick, impressive-looking thriller was shot in just 19 days. And for a film shot in that time, with little to no budget or fanfare, this is an enthralling crackerjack thriller proving good things come in small packages.
