Please don't spend money on this.

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.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I probably shouldn't have watched this. I'd skimmed through some of the bad reviews but thought maybe it would still be OK. After all, I'm a sucker for a four-hander play, set in one location. Anyway, as you can guess from the title of this review, I should have heeded the message. It is a poor film. Funnily enough it seems clear that the makers have genuinely tried hard to make something good. It just isn't.The dialogue is poor and unrealistic, the writer constantly betrays his characters, scenarios are derivative and the movie just feels too contrived. In addition, although a useful premise to start with, the ending is far too weak. Less is more might have made for a more effective film. A better writer would've done too.

The chuckle brothers do a kidnapping, I honestly waited for them to throw pie at each others faces by the end of this film. It possibly the stupidest film I have ever seen. The dialogue is: to me, to you, type of lingo. Which is funny but in the wrong way and for all the wrong reasons. Unlike the movie the Village this film really fails as tries. The plot twists are quite predictable as they cover up all the obvious plot holes. This movie should come with a warning don't try this at home. Quite a low budget production entirely at one location. The actors we have seen before mainly from the soaps. 4 out of 10 for the humour

I must admit, when I heard that this film had been made for £100k all in, and shot on one location in 17 days straight, I lowered my expectations accordingly. I needn't have, the script is taught, the dialogue is genuinely amusing with plenty of humour and for the most part the editing is sharp; while the plot unfolds revealing a different layer with each twist... The ending delivers a great pay off too.Pertwee brings real menace to the roll of the sinister detective and all of the characters are well observed.The broadsheets were hard on this film, I recommend you watch it and decide for yourself. It's a low budget British film, that may be reason enough for many support it, but I want to be entertained as well, and Four delivered on that score. Hence my 8 out of 10.Watch it. And Watch out for debut film maker John Langridge, if that's hist first effort I can't wait to see what comes next!

Possibly the best low budget film I have seen to date. The director uses the desolate location and some amazing acting talent to bring to life a clever, intricate and often funny script. The language is shocking, as is the level of violence, but this created for me an almost morbid, edge of seat fascination, wondering what would come next. The ending was unexpected and not for the faint hearted! Interestingly, it was difficult to like any of the four characters, and the audience were left knowing little more about them than we did at the start of the film. Definitely a film to watch, perhaps more than once to really appreciate the subtle inferences of the script and direction.
