Review of Cashback (2007) by Craig T — 03 Jan 2015

As he showed with The Broken, Ellis has a knack for pretty compositions and mildly elliptical, atmospheric editing rhythms, but his scripts are just awful. Stupid, uninteresting characters, an unspeakably dumb and contrived plot, bad attempts at comedy, leaden pacing and a lack of structure that had me looking at the clock out of boredom thinking it must be over soon and seeing it had half an hour left to go.

I'm convinced this guy has a masterpiece in him if he can just find someone to write a decent screenplay.
