Watchable I suppose and Ed Westwick, whom I've never seen anything else in, made for a capable lead but most of the acting was subpar and plot points were either terribly convenient or just outright dumb. The ending also wasn't great with inexplicably our lead doesn't ask for backup until the last moment. You're probably better off checking out 2008's Untraceable (which also takes place and shot in in Portland, Oregon; this one looks like it was shot in Europe somewhere). **2.75/5**
