The premise sounded interested. Kind of like a full film version of the opening scene from Speed (which was surprisingly tense). However this is nothing of the sort. There's no suspense or intrigue or real tension, despite the confined space. It's full of entirely cliched and unlikeable characters, all with rather predictable stories. I picked the bomber on this literally within the first few minutes, and it didn't get much better from them. The plot is just stupid and it makes no sense that these people are stuck in a lift for such a long time without any help. And the ending is just laughable.
There's nothing particularly likeable about this film at all, it's your typical second rate straight to dvd type movie. I've only marked it as high as I have due to have laughably bad it was.
