I think
"boring" would sum it up.
While the concept is okay, as is the acting, the movie did nothing for
me. The choice to not show the
antagonists lurking in the shadows (except for split second flashes maybe 3
times) was probably an attempt to instill terror of the unknown but it just
left me wanting to know what they looked like.
I also found it
very annoying that the only member of the group that spoke and understood
Russian suddenly seemingly no longer understood it when it mattered most,
blatantly ignoring a warning--I won't spoil anything but, if you're smart, you
can probably draw a conclusion in the right ball park. Equally, the ending was lame.
