Review of Retreat

Retreat (I) (2011)
8/10
Thoroughly enjoyable

Any film relying on just three main characters needs to make sure the actors are up to the job. This film from a new director got it spot on as far as I'm concerned.

Jamie Bell has well and truly come of age and shown himself to be a superb actor. Thandie Newton is as always a good bet and of course Cillian Murphy makes it a hat trick.

People have pointed out plot errors and there are a few but I feel that watching a film always involves leaving reality at the door to a certain extent so think this is nitpicking.

Enjoy this film for what it is. A low budget thriller that punches above it's weight!
