Citadel (I) (2012)
7/10
A very good British thriller.

Warning: Spoilers
This film was a pleasant change to the usual horror/thriller movies of late. The story was refreshing and the atmosphere was tension building. I was pulled in to the plight of Tommy and his little child. The first scenes were quite intense and almost shocking, but not overly so that it puts you off. I felt myself drawn in to how Tommy would deal with what had happened, and as a dad I was wanting to know how the baby would be taken care of. Because of that the movie had taken on a more personal note with me, I felt for Tommy and cared about what was going to happen with his relationship with his baby. There are some interesting scenes throughout the film, and even though you know that this really couldn't possibly happen you do think that the movie is taking a swipe at how society is treating it's children in some area's. It's not your usual thriller, it uses the drama building storyline to an advantage. If you're over seeing mindless bloody style thriller's, this is a good movie to see instead. I give it a solid 7.5 out of 10.
