For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
I had never seen any of the main actors before so I guess they are mainly unknowns (sorry if that upsets anyone), but saying that I think they did a good job. For a first time director he kept the story moving at a reasonable pace. I actually enjoyed this film.I certainly don't think this film is as bad as some say, but I don't think it is a 9 either. If these had been well known actors my score would have been lower.SPOILER ALERT:I don't know if this film is a very fast production of the recent events of the English so called model who says she was kidnapped while on a job in Europe. If so then the film deserves an extra point.If not then I hope the police investigating that woman watch this film as it gave her step by step instructions on how to give herself a major boost in the media. The timing of this film is extraordinary in either case.I couldn't help but think about the English model as I watched this film and in some ways it made the film more interesting.
By Any Means, was entertaining from beginning until the end. I didn't see the twist coming but it was very satisfying for a viewer. The film has a great cast, the acting is strong, and it is very well realized especially considering the budget. You can imagine something like this movie happening in real life. It is worth the watch without a doubt. Why not watch and try and see if you can guess what happens in the end!
You might feel a bit skeptical at the beginning and thing that there is nothing new and exciting in the story-line but wait and see and you will be surprised ! It is actually a clever movie with an unexpected end that will make you want to watch it again with another perspective. Yes, it is a low-budget movie but it definitely worth a watch
Absolute drivel. I've seen far better films on Lifetime. Fake ratings have bumped up the IMDb score. I only happened across this garbage on a free streaming site. I want back the 30 minutes I lasted. This movie is about 84 minutes too long. Story is rubbish. Acting is rubbish. Dialogue is farcical and clichéd. Go read the latest copy of OK! magazine instead.
