XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Páiric O'Corráin Containment: Would Southampton be improved by a Viral Outbreak? Well thats what happens in this film which was made and set in Southampton. Residents on a tower block estate wake up to find themselves sealed in their apartment. Breaking through (shoddy) walls, six people link up. Outside they can see figures in hazmat suits setting up large tents. Soon residents from the ground floors are being escorted towards the tents. One makes a break for it and is shot dead.A survival thriller where the State is withholding the full facts and treating ordinary people as expendable. 6/10.
Bowserb46 I don't know what the appeal is of these low budget made for cable channel movies. Maybe it's that you can tell they're low budget, knockoffs of other movies, and therefore you owe them nothing and can watch while you're doing something else? Usually, though, they're made in eastern Europe, so this is a notch above the usual...but only a notch.A couple of glaring flaws, I think. The characters are the usual types for this kind of movie, so you know right out what's going to happen to them. The virus? It's airborne yet contained to two apartment buildings? Next, do all apartment buildings in the UK have unbreakable windows? Finally, it's a good thing for the government people that this was the UK and not America. Here, there would have been some armed residents, and the government wouldn't be able to "contain" the citizens so easily.Finally, though, I did like the ending. It left room for speculation about what has happened. A nice rainy Saturday afternoon movie.
adriansmith245 I watched this movie because it was classified partly as science fiction. The science fiction content was almost zero.The plot holesthe authorities sealed up all the windows... how ? There would be no window washing equipment on old buildings like thatthe artist had a sculpture that could fit in place and stop people entering the building... what are the chances of that, besides fire regulations have buildings with doors that open outwards, so that people can get out more easilypeople were trying to open windows, and someone had a hammer, why didn't anyone break a window ?I could add plenty of others.Its a poor movie with a very weak plot that has many holes
Jen Pawlowski kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way through. beautifully acted and shot, with a fantastic score. music does a lot to keep you grounded in the suspense of the movie.the director does a lot with a little -- despite the small budget, containment feels like a big- budget feature length film. his use of space (small set, big story) is wonderfully ingenious. i found something to relate to in every character. the performances made me feel like i was part of the movie, like sally could've been my best friend in real life. lee ross' and Gabriel senior's performances were especially moving.suspenseful and dramatic, but also relatable. highly enjoyed it. i'll definitely be watching it again and recommending it to friends.
