Ryhmä ihmisiä jää loukkuun hissiin. Sitten alkaa käydä ilmeiseksi että paholainen on heidän keskuudessaan… _________________

Ihan toimiva, hieman vanhanaikainen ja rutiinilla ohjattu kuka kukin on jännäri. Hieman yllätyksetön ja ehkä ennalta arvattavakin. Ihan ok katsottavaa jos ei parempaa ole tarjolla. Tässä toisin kuin haudatussa ei kuitenkaan osata kunnolla hyödyntää ahtaan paikan tunnetta ja klaustrofobiaa, vaan kaikki tapahtuu aina sähkökatkosten aikana ja katsoja vain odottaa kuka seuraavaksi putoaa pelistä. Tarina kuitenkin toimii melko hyvin ja kerää kivasti kaikkien kohtalot yhteen elokuvan lopussa. Ihan ok viihdettä, ei ihmeellinen, mutta katsomisen arvoinen. Melko lyhyt elokuvaksi. (1h20min).

Clipart In Philadelphia, Detective Bowden is still grieving for his wife and son, killed in a hit-and-run five years ago. When someone jumps from a skyscraper onto a truck, Bowden is sent to investigate. Meanwhile, five strangers are trapped in an elevator in the building where the jumper committed suicide. The communication radio in the elevator is broken but the guards, Lustig and Ramirez, observe the individuals via CCTV as events unfold. Tensions run high among those trapped, so Lustig calls the police and Detective Bowden assumes the case. Without being able to contact the individuals, he tries to work out who they are, but he can only account for four of them. Time is running out for the occupants of the elevator, as Bowden realizes he has to get them out quickly.

Just a functional, somewhat old-fashioned and routine control who’s who of thriller. A little uneventful, and perhaps predictably. Okay to watch if you do not have a better offer. Here, unlike buried does not know how to properly take advantage of the narrow sense of the place and the claustrophobia, but everything happens always when the power fails and the viewer who is just waiting for the next drop from the game. The story, however, works quite well, and the collection of all fates together nicely at the end of the movie. Okay entertainment, not amazing, but worth watching. Quite a short film.
