a5c7b9f00b A petty robbery spirals into a tense hostage situation after three gunmen hold up a diner that&#39;s a front for the mob. An all-night diner. A cop walks in on a robbery in progress. But what happens next - and what happened just before - will change everything you think you know. The building is now surrounded. There are restless fingers on every trigger. And one very intense hostage situation is about to take some extremely shocking twists. The plot for this film and what it was being sold on was actually a pretty good concept, not overly original but good. This movie reminds me of a severe burn on your arm or leg, the burn hurts like hell but it gives you a good story to tell your mates. The acting by some really good and in my view 1st/2nd grade actors will not let you down however let me outlay a few points on Michael Chiklis. It is hard to get into a movie if its a found footage style movie if you suffer with motion sickness or sensitive to joggy camera work, just like that, it is hard to actually get fully into this moviea lead character Michael Chiklis does a terrible cockney accent. Now I&#39;m not going to say it was the worse example of an actor trying to do an accent because after hearing Jason Statham trying to do an American accent I think we&#39;re even. But it didn&#39;t help the fact that (IF) Chiklis was sticking strictly to script then it wasn&#39;t accurate in the way we talk. A younger bloke would never say to an older bloke &quot;son&quot; just wouldn&#39;t happen. Michael Chiklis almost gets run over at the start of the movie where he says &quot;Look where your going you bloody cow&quot; yet a few minutes later he calls Stephen Langs character &quot;cunt&quot; in a realist environment a cockney would have called the bird a &quot;cunt&quot; and we don&#39;t say things like take your legs off at the knee, we would say &quot;kneecapping&quot;. I&#39;m disappointed because they actually had a Brit on set Max Beesley who I&#39;m sure over his travels have interacted with many cockney&#39;s. Over all it is hard to get pass the bad accent but worth a watch non the less. Review: The cast looked really impressive in this movie, but I thought that it was a bit strange that it went straight to DVD. After watching the film, I realised that most of the actors that were on the poster only get a couple of scenes, except for Michael Chiklis who had a awful cockney accent throughout the movie. Anyway, the film seemed a bit cheap and weak. There are many twists which keeps it interesting, but I still think that the director could have done a much better job. All of the actors put in good performances, but its the storyline that could have done with a lot more work. Disappointing!<br/><br/>Round-Up: Ray Liotta seems to be in a lot of straight to DVD movies of late, which is a shame because he can act. I have also seen Forest Whittaker in a lot of B movies, which is quite surprising for an actor in his calibre. As for Michael Chiklis, his career seemed so promising after the Shield, but we haven&#39;t seen him in anything amazing. As for this movie, it seems like the director was trying to launch Sean Faris&#39;s career into the big time, but failing like in many of his other movies.
