Shackled (2023) User Reviews

40 min in, I couldn't bear it any longer

I literally suffered through 40 minutes of this dread fest and had to stop. The acting was absolutely horrible from the moment it started with her yelling the way she was.

The premise of this movie sounded pretty watchable but unbelievable so I decided to give it a try and boy was that a mistake.

It's low budget with one or two familiar faces from some other low budget films I've seen. Don't expect academy award winning acting.

Should you decide to torture yourself through this one, good luck. Hopefully you can finish the movie unlike me. I am a stickler for finishing what I start and I've made it through some really really horrible ones, but I just couldn't rough this through.

Boring Nonsense!!

I don't even know what I just watched. Throughout the entire film the acting was bad, the story was choppy, there was no action at ALL, just her in the truck trying to break free. That's it. Don't waste your time with this one people. I was bored to tears. I wish I would have waited until more reviews came out about this film, so by writing this I'm trying to save you all 87 minutes of your time and I recommend watching literally anything else. In the trailer it says it got all these independent film awards. Don't be fooled. Movies this bad have to put that in to get people to watch it. The ending also sucked, trying to show a twist when it just angers the audience. Rule #1 of filmmaking is don't piss off the audience you're trying to impress!

We now know that Alex Scott is an awful actor as well as an awful pundit

I'm no expert in what to do when you waken up shackled in the back of a pick up truck in the desert, but i would imagine you would look to try to free yourself, rather than immediately start half shouting for help. If, after several hours of attempting to free yourself, you're still not free, then by all means give the whole shouting for help in the middle of nowhere a wee go.

This is another one of those films where nothing actually happens while attempting to be some deep and meaningful philosophical journey. Please, just stop with this idea, it doesn't work.

Oh, and then it appears it was all in her subconscious mind as she lay in a hospital bed, in a coma. Load of nonsense.

Confusing story

[gregwarner-63770 · 1/10 · 19 May 2024]

I watched this whole movie and regret it. Didn't understand the confusing ending. The glass of water someone left.

Were they all hallucinations or her past haunting her. Did she wake up in a bed or not? Who chained her there?

Kind of a nutty unexplained movie. Dont waste your time watching it. Its terrible. No point to it. The ending is so confusing. Looks like she was hallucinating and on drugs. I never saw how she was freed. She should've k own how to talk to someone on a CB. Come on who is that dumb. Tried to shoot the chain. Shot herself. How dumb is that.

Stupid people make stupid movies. She should e put it on a rock and shot it at an angle away from herzelf.

I love films that make you think, maybe even rewatch the film

I love films that make you think, maybe even rewatch the film to understand the story, to reprocess what happened.

I just finished watching this, I am sitting here thinking I don't really understand what the story was about as ig sounds like the whole kidnapped and tied to the truck etc was all in her head!, until she forgave herself. But the relevance of the truck? Being shackled to it, having a gun with bullets etc etc the whole darn movie just made no sense!

I am left wondering why? Why did I just waste so much of my time and if my remaining life on this what can only be honestly described as the perfect example of a bad story, very poor acting by the lead actor and just so slow OMG!!!

This is the first proper review I have written so I guess something good came out of it! Yes me writing about why you really shouldn't waste your time on this supposed "Action" movie? There was more action, better acting and far better storyline watching "finger bob" which was a children's program in the 70's about finger puppets!.

Worst film ever by far

[diamonddolo-98826 · 1/10 · 11 May 2024]

This had to be the worst, cheapest piece of crap I have ever seen. I waste a lot of time doing dumb stuff but this was the biggest waste of time ever. The acting sucked the ending was dumb and I'm still waiting on the suspense because she did more damage to herself than anyone else 🤦 if you have anything else to do like watch paint dry or something useful like clean your whole entire house I suggest you spend the next hour and a half doing that then waste time watching this crap. We should be able to start a class action lawsuit for watching movies this bad I watch a lot of movies and I must admit there not all good but this was another level of awful.😞
