The film's clearly limited means are not any excuse for the way is relevant such shateringly languid energy with a real-time ticking-clock thriller, which is only chances for marginal attention will be based round the high billing presented to supporting players Kevin Sorbo and Bruce Davison. Pic opens as businessman Jack (Patrick Barnitt) arrives home, where a masked baddie named Trick (Johnny Alonso) shows him an energetic video feed of his estranged wife (Sunny Doench) and her lover (Sorbo) trapped together in the pinewood box. The windy kidnapper dispenses a bit of Jigsaw-style moralizing before offering to exhibit their location for just about any pricey sum meanwhile, some bickering odd-couple cops (co-helmers Derik Wingo and Kipp Tribble) follow their trail. Some possibly intentional metatextual humor creeps through -- Doench's character is known to love a b --movie actress, because the mincingly unthreatening Trick is actually a "real professional" -- there's however otherwise nothing much to find out here.Camera (color, DV), Keiko Nakahara editor, George Maranville music, Roger Ryan, Jason Gaines production designer, Gary Manley.
