Review of Salvage

Salvage (I) (2009)
6/10
Fine Acting

Warning: Spoilers
Low, low budget but some good things here. Shaun Dooley and Miss Ahmed are just terrific in a film that they must have understood would get next to no distribution and/or attention. Dooley's had some fine roles to date and I look forward to him becoming an actor of Bob Hoskins or Ray Winstone's stature. Ahmed is both attractive and talented, though her resume looks like acting isn't even her day job. The other three or four speaking parts are also very convincing. The problem is that the "bogey man" monster is given very short rift as far as imagination, depiction and on-screen time. Slowly, we see that the real storyline is the character development of Dooley and Ahmed's respective characters. By then its too late. The ending gives the word "abrupt" new definition.
