It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Vinnie "Can't act my way out of a paper bag" Jones is in it! The kiss of death for any movie! Enough said!

I have to start out by saying that given the synopsis of "Tooth and Nail" then I had initially expected a bit more from this movie, but it turned out to be a really boring movie and a major disappointment.The audience is supposed to buy into this being a post apocalyptic world. Right. Except that it didn't come off as being post apocalyptic in one bit. And the reason for the downfall of man and this apocalypse; because we ran out of fuel. Seriously? Ran out of fuel? The storyline is really slow, dull and dimwitted, and it was fast becoming a struggling battle to keep attention to the screen, especially because nothing much of any importance or interest took place on the screen.As for the acting, well people were doing adequate jobs with their given roles and characters. But not even Vinnie Jones could manage to salvage this sinking ship. And believe me, the ship was sinking fast.The one thing that the movie had working for it was the camera-work, which was actually quite good. And also the production value seemed to be adequate. But these factors could do nothing to lift up the rest of this abysmal movie experience.I managed to make it into 53 minutes into the movie before I gave up out of sheer boredom, and actually having dozed off once or twice. And I have no plans to put it on again to finish it, because there just is nothing alluring to make me watch the rest of the movie."Tooth and Nail" scores a meager 2 out of 10 stars.

The time: the immediate near future. Society has fallen apart as the direct result of a sudden and unexpected gas shortage. A ragtag group of survivors led by the wise and kindly Professor Darwin (an excellent performance by Robert Carradine) seek refuge in an empty and abandoned hospital. Said group find themselves in considerable peril when a deadly band of savage nocturnal cannibals called Rovers attack the place on a nightly basis and pick them off one at a time. Writer/director Mark Young depicts a plausibly bleak and brutal vision of the future that might be right around the corner. Moreover, Young relates the absorbing story at a steady pace, builds a strong sense of dread and plenty of nerve-wracking tension (the Rovers' attacks on the survivors are quite vicious and horrifying), maintains a properly bleak and desolate tone throughout, and further spices things up with a few nice lashings of gore (gruesome highlights include a bloody throat slicing, a meat cleaver in the head, and an especially nasty acid facial). Better still, there's no silly obtrusive humor to detract from the severity of the harsh survival-of-the-fittest premise. In fact, the plot makes a potent and provocative central point about the fine line between civilized beings and wild barbarians. The sterling acting from a sturdy cast helps matters a whole lot: Rachel Miner as the spunky, resourceful Neon, Rider Strong as the mean, selfish Ford, Nicole DuPort as the humane and sensible, yet tough and resilient Dakota, Michael Kelly as the surly, malcontent Viper, Alexandra Barreto as Ford's timid girlfriend Torino, Emily Catherine Young as the mute, fragile Nova, Michael Madsen as the calmly malevolent Jackal, and Vinnie Jones as the feral Mongrel. Gregg Easterbrook's shadowy, prowling cinematography makes the most out of the dark and claustrophobic setting. Elia Cmiral's shivery, rattling, hard-rocking score likewise hits the bull's eye. A solid and satisfying movie.

you can past that the general conceit of the whole film, America turning into a barren wasteland simply because they used up all the oil, is a straw dog impossibility and if you push aside that character's this stupid and ineffective could survive when nearly 2/3rd of the population have passed on, then this certainly had the capacity to be a fun little flick. Now capacity and actuality are two vastly different animals. It doesn't help that the three best actors in the film, Robert Carradine, Micheal Madsen, and Vinnie Jones, are vastly underused. Nor does it bode well that the twists are inane. I didn't completely detest the film and had fun with it up to a point. And while it's among the top of the "8 films to die for", that's more of an indictment on how crappy most of those films were than anything else. This still ranks FAR below "Borderland" My Grade: C-
