CGiii Comment

It's not bad...but, it does seem to poach ideas from several other films.

The opening scene...Trainspotting?!?

The premise...take your pick.

Jobson - a man who can't decide on and stick to one career path - does an admirable job with a limited budget. It does lose its way in the final third and the ending is not wholly convincing (or satisfying).

Watchable and ethereal.

The(ir) Blurb...

Two private bankers, Alistair and Jamie, who have the world at their feet get their kicks from playing a 12 hour game of hunt, hide and seek with people from the margins of society. Their next target is Sean Macdonald a parentless teenager who lives with his sister on a housing estate on the outskirts of Edinburgh. She's in debt, he's going nowhere fast. Sean agrees to play for cash. He soon realises he's walked into twelve hours of hell where survival is the name of the game.
