Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

blende Every so often a well made and thrilling action/adventure movie comes along that reassures my faith in filmmakers. It's such a wonderful feeling when you're totally engrossed in a movie and invested in the fate of the characters. Although the story unfolds in a straight no nonsense manner, it manages to feel unique and fresh with crisp and realistic dialogue. Let me tell you, this is a VERY well written screenplay. The Gilbey brothers have managed to create a sense of dread and tension that continually increases scene by scene until the satisfying climax. Beautiful cinematography, A+ Acting, characters we care about, wicked bad guys, thrilling action, and.......the fantastic Melissa George. The question I thought after seeing Melissa George in A Lonely Place to Die was, "why is she not every bit as well known as other less deserving and less interesting actresses. If you loved her in 30 Days of Night, then you'll love her even more here. She's a strong lead with depth, complexity, and competence.Fresh, Compelling, exciting, and a must see.

NateWatchesCoolMovies You know when you're on some wilderness trip, out of your element, and all these crazy, far flung 'what if' scenarios enter your head, but they never happen? In A Lonely Place To Die, one of them does, to hapless hiker Melissa George and her friends. Traversing the Scottish highlands, the group hears an eerie crying coming from a random ventilation pipe in a remote area, and unwisely digs below ground to investigate. Imprisoned in a seriously creepy bunker is a young Eastern European girl, alone and afraid. So begins their waking nightmare trying to find out where she came from, pursued by all kinds of nasties and forced to kill or be killed to protect her. There's a horde of British thugs including resident creeper Sean Harris, a faction of powerful Russian spooks led by intense Karel Roden, and all manner of psychos adding to the hubbub. As a breathless chase thriller it works wonders, with more than a few impeccably stages set pieces that orchestrate suspense well. There's violence too, as Melissa is forced to dispatch the heinous baddies in terrifically gory ways, and fighting tooth and nail to protect the girl. The plot moves in a familiar direction as far as her backstory goes and loses momentum in resolution, but they had to wrap it up logically I suppose. The film is best when it goes full on crazy, and gets into borderline horror mode, it's got a loopy sense of violence about it that is the strongest quality.

jtkremer Scenic, wonderful adventure, action keeps coming, one complaint - CPR she checked breathing, checked airway, OK good, now the key part of reviving a person is chest compression's. Fast compression's on the rib cage.Movies are a great way to propagate knowledge of first aid. CPR must be correct in a movie. Thanks for a fun movie.

David Arnold It's always pleasing to actually find these smaller budget titles when looking through other films as they sometimes have a tendency to be much better than the usual multi-million Dollar Hollywood "blockbusters".I'm originally from Scotland but now living in America and I had never heard of A Lonely Place to Die before, so when I read the description of what it was about, I watched the trailer and decided to give it a shot. I'm glad I did because it turned out to be a very enjoyable film.One thing I was a bit wary about when watching the trailer was that the film did appear as if it would be a bit slow at times between the scenes with more action. I'm happy to say my fears were put to rest, because the film moved at a decent enough pace, and even during these lull's there was enough tension to keep my interest. The story's well written and there are plenty of moments that combine action & suspense with the setting of the Scottish Highlands (of which the photography was excellent) adding to that suspense.The cast were excellent for the most part as well, with Melissa George doing a great job especially (she's come a LONG way since her Home & Away days). I don't think I've ever seen her give a bad performance in any movie I've seen her in, whether it was 30 Days Of Night or Triangle. A couple of cast members - mainly Sean Harris and Eamonn Walker - were just a wee bit over-the-top with some aspects of their performances and their broad London accents felt a bit forced (which is strange considering they are both Londoners).If I have any complaints about A Lonely Place to Die it would be that it got just a WEE bit ridiculous towards the end with certain scenes in the (fictional) town of Annan Moor, but these are small points and were not enough to ruin what is a very good film.If you enjoy good thrillers and have not seen this movie yet then give it a go. You may be pleasantly surprised.
