Review of Retreat (2011) by David K — 20 Feb 2012

An unforgettable and powerful edge of your seat thriller that your pulse-pounding and your heart-racing all the way to the end. It`s loaded with gripping suspense and unstoppable tension. It`s utterly well-crafted and incrediably performend by its wonderful cast.

A riveting tour de force of a thriller. A real knockout. Cillian Murphey and Thandie Newton are outstanding. Jamie Bell is electrifying, he gives a strong, confident and and terrifying performance, he`s a real show stealer.

Murphey, Bell and Newton give great strength to their characters and just helps makes this movie work more. A little bit of Straw Dogs meets alot of Dead Calm. A well-polished character study with a tense claustrophobic feel that works out well.

A mind-blowing ride that`s twisty, frequently thrilling and tremendously entertaining movie. Director, Carol Tibbetts crafts a brilliant and remarkable film.
