A. Description

Plot: In a week, Matt Turner business partners die because of car bombing. Matt Turner and his two kids were on their way going to school. Suddenly a mysterious phone ring. From that call, Matt and his kids have to obey the caller instuction, or the car will explode, just like the others....

B. Personal Review

I like the thrill of the movie so much! How it keeps you guessing who's the caller and why he wants revenge. I really get the thrill at the start of the movie. Especially when there's a scene where two of Matt Turner friends died because of car bombing. It makes you wonder, why is he spared?

The movie is pretty short. And maybe this is the reason, I feel that the I didn't get enough thrill. At first, your heart can pumped so fast when you watch. But after that, I just can't get the thrill. The thrilling part was too short. 

I really love the characters though. At first, Matt's kids were disobeying and careless. But after the tragedy, they started to become more selfless. The character change was fast, which is good since the movie is pretty short. And I love how some of the characters made us so irritated when we watched.  Second thing that I like, is how Matt's wife, Heather get closer to his husband when the tragedy happened. Previously, they were arguing a lot. So the tragedy changed Matt's family and his self, which is a good moral. 

The setting of this movie is mostly on Matt's car. They stopped a few times. Never thought a movie inside a car would be so amusing.

And although there's not much thrill, but the ending really suprised me. I never thought that person was the villain, lol. Not going to spill, tho :p.

Overall good movie, although I wish it was a little bit longer. 8/10. 

Thank you so much everyone for reading this blog! I'll try to post more, now that I'm on holiday. Ciao for now loves!
