Review of A Lonely Place to Die (2011) by Jon C — 24 Mar 2012
A pretty cool suspense thriller.
Part ransom, part kidnap movie set in a foreign nation.
Melissa George does a pretty damn good job but her accent is just damn awful, I don't know even why they tried that approach.
There's a lot of nail-biting suspense in this movie revoling around a little girl found in the ground in the woods as it turns out she's part of a bigger conspiracy than our main characters thought.
For some reason the movie at one point decides to take a break and it's pretty damn uninteresting.
Plus you really didn't need all these side-characters like the cops.
The Scotland landscape also succeeds at being beautiful to look at and pretty dangerous at the same time.
Most of the main protagonists get the axe pretty quick and the whole thing becomes a chase-flick from there.
I do admire the performances mainly from George since she pretty much gets a ton of dramatic roles these days.
Not a horror flick per se, but an intense crime film that shocks the viewer pretty strongly.
