The filming quality and views were amazing, the music was also okay-ish at adding suspense however there was something I really did not like about the plot. At the very start, MC gets a call from the bomber telling him his car is bombed then gets another call from his colleague (that has his wife on the car) & realizes that he's also received a similar call and their situation is about the same so he drives all the way to him. The wife however is adamant that the bomb is fictional and just cannot control herself on not getting off, practically has an urge to jump off the car by any possible means knowing there could be a possibility of death to... go to work. Anyway the wife gets off, effectively blowing : herself, the car & her poor husband (I applauded) the first thing MC does however is driving off at full speed then later realizes his son is hurt so he wants to drive to the ER but ends up in a remote area where the plots begins. There are two things that are massive plot-hole ignored so the movie could happen that bothered me : -The first is when he didn't switch the audio from earpiece to the car's after he's already told his kids what is happening. -The second is he had to flee the crime scene at full speed so he could avoid policemen, firemen & medics after the bombing. The movie happening in a narrow space limiting the movie set & budget will have to heavily rely on the plot, not to spoil but I watched until the end & I just found it was alright. The wife blowing off everything to go to work honestly was the highlight for me haha.

The movie felt like it would never end. It took me three weeks to finish the movie bc it was so boring. I finally dad forwarded to the last 15 min to see the end (didn't realize this was a remake of the Spanish movie else I would just have read the summary of that film). The movie's focus was on family being trapped in a car speed chasing through the city and not on the backstory of the plot. I would have liked this movie better if the majority of the film was on the flashbacks to tell the backstory instead.

So if that's not 9 stars, then I don't know anymore. Pure tension over the entire length of the film. In the film you should not spoil, fantastically exciting touching. Great film.

It's nothing new but the execution is good. It's a bit slow in parts, but overall stays pretty exciting. I loved the scene where the daughter risks her life to protect her father. It was well shot & beautiful to witness. Ending felt a bit flat, but will leave you with a relaxed mind. Watch it with your family or friends, it's good enough.

This movie carries a good story-it may be a remake, but this is really good- and the execution of the movie is really good. From acting to direction this is a good movie. However, it had several flaws with the convincing of financial fraud the main characters involved in. Other than that the movie is better than this kind of movies out there. Watch it. You won't regret it.

All of the ingredients are there: fast-paced action with appropriate character development, good actors to execute them, amazing cinematography, and an exceptional original score which will linger in your mind for a while. Good cinema. Well worth watching. 8/10.
