CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

Ploydsge just watch it!

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Elektra Hyde As much as I would like to say this is a good movie, there are things that don't add up in this film. Technically it would have needed more than one sniper to cover the premises even when plenty of surveillance cameras are installed to track the movement of these trapped residents. Let say that tower block has only 18 floors, the highly-trained sniper would need to be somewhere higher than the roof of that building to shoot at the fire hose that the guy was holding onto while climbing down the building on the other side. Since there was only one sniper (obviously it is impossible for him to be staring at and shooting at all four facades of the building at the same time and it didn't seem like the sniper had installed cameras all over the building, those residents could have all gotten down to the first or second floor of the tower block through the elevator shaft and broken into the flats that have windows facing the other side and climbed down from there.

Alex Heaton (azanti0029) This film was added to my DVD collection some time ago on the strength of actor Jack O'Connell being in it but sat there with a load of other films unwatched for some time with life getting in the way.One night when I had a load of friends over I suggested we watched it and this turned out to be a good decision. Set predominately in a Tower Block as the title suggests, a group of neighbours who wouldn't normally socialise find themselves under siege by a sniper with unnerving accuracy. It's only a question of time before they're all picked off unless they can find a way to escape.Put your realism aside for this one, as there's a few plot holes, but this is escapist drama and is clearly here to entertain and keep you on edge and this film does just that. It's well paced, with clear cut characters some who do border on the stereotype but never the less never fail to engage you. All of the actors do well here, but the stand outs are O'Connell and Sheridan Smith who slip in to their roles as the main protagonists quite comfortably. Nunn's direction is sharp and effective and keeps you entertained through out and while the ending is a little bit expected it still not the let down that others would have you believe.A well made fun film that you can watch happily with popcorn for 90 minutes, all four us liked it.

Peter Pluymers Actually I expected a movie with lots of suspense and a somewhat sadistic overtone, but in terms of brutality it was quite disappointing. Things looked promising at the start with the presentation of all the tenants. A colorful companionship. Becky (Sheridan Smith) is a typical English blonde that radiated an unprecedented sensitivity and eroticism the way she was walking around in that wife-beater (in which here female forms played an important role) and Kurtis (Jack O'Connell) was from the beginning an irritating brat but evolved into a starring role: hard, big mouth and sometimes surprisingly funny. Brilliant role in other words. The rest of the company was filler and cannon fodder.The story on its own was dead simple and meaningless. A group of tenants who lived on the same floor and refused to leave the premises were gunned down one by one by a sniper. (An H & K Semi Automatic seems)Sometimes it was pretty realistic, but most of the times it was only pitiful and you could clearly see that this was a low-budget movie from the UK. The responses were sometimes downright ridiculous. For instance an occupant is blown away by a booby trap. First there is horror and panic about this situation. The next thing you see the victim simply being carried away with the blunt reply: We put him next to his girlfriend.Also the moment Kurtis gets a solid punch of Neville and a crushing kick in his Easter eggs by Becky, I was like : "Why didn't the dummies acted like that already sooner and teached that blackmailer a lesson". It was really amateurish.Conclusion : a movie that, despite the lack of budget, sometimes still entertains with funny conversations and some exciting situations, but with an incredibly faint end. Ephemeral entertainment!More reviews at http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/

oggalliers I will admit that I found the movie quite enjoyable; however, it's set in a country with some of the harshest gun control laws in the developed world, and the sniper is picking them off with unbelievable accuracy using a suppressed H&K Semi Automatic long range rifle. It's hardly aneurysm inducing surprise when the identity of the killer is revealed…. I'm surprised Christopher fulford didn't get a larger role, given that he's a relatively big actor for a budget movie. As I said, though, the movie was good fun and the emotions and tensions between the characters were presented really well. I thought the old guy gets over his wife's death a little too quickly, though it's not ruining the movie with that. The choice of character for the killer, whilst obvious given the setting and modus operandi, was a refreshing change from the usual angry parent or rival drug gang killers that make up most British horror/thriller movies. Steven Cree is a little typecast in his role. Though, again, it's a great movie to enjoy, with a welcome plot twist, when you can't get to sleep at 4am with your headphones in.
