Solid psychological thriller with some unexpected twists.

Well... actually this movie was a pleasant surprise. After reading some of the comments in here i wasn't sure whether this movie was my style or not, but i decided to give it a try... i can honestly say that i'm glad i did. This movie gets you thinking all the way to the end, and there's a lot of unexpected twists along the way. The way this movie makes you "feel" the same way as the characters is very well done. The movie takes place inside an old shutdown factory building or warehouse. The characters wakes up, but can't remember who they are, and the building is sealed off so that it's impossible to get out. No one knows who is who, or even who is the bad guys and who's the good guys, or even if there is any good or bad guys. Every move they make is being watched closely by the other characters, and every time someone does anything that seems a little suspicious, they gets accused of being the bad guys or "on the other side". This makes your mind work hard to figure out who is who, and what's the meaning of this. The movie is a bit slow sometimes, and it's not what i would call a "masterpiece", but it's definitely better than average, and i liked it a lot.

If you like movies that gets you thinking, then i would highly recommend this one. It won't let you down.
