Decent, gripping, brutal, disturbing thiller.
Eddie Marson did great.
I can add "could have been better" maybe but overall it's a good entertainer. -
this movie is fantastic. it has a deep story and good characters. it is not a simple slasher movie, but there are many unpredictible twists and the viewer starts to think about moral decisions and solving the riddle.
-
Solid performances, and some striking visual style for a single location thriller. I was pretty well engaged throughout, and was probably more entertained than my rating might imply, but it also features a lot of questionable logic, and a conclusion that is hard to be content with. Understandably will not work for many.

I first heard of this movie while watching videos for the best of horror 2020. Even though I probably wouldn't have included it for such a list, I can see how it might be a favorite for some people. The plot is pretty simple. A talk radio host is getting ready to do his show when things start to go wrong. He doesn't understand at first, but a couple of guys has gotten into the studio and start to make some demands. They want him, and his eventual guest, to talk about a very specific night.
This wasn't a movie that I found to be all that scary, but it still manages to get pretty tense at times. I didn't…

You don’t know who to hate more, the attackers or the attacked, and I think that’s the point. Underrated.
-
Intense little thriller that becames repetitive after a while.
Could have been better.

Ahoy mateys, beaming a signal across the letterbox, sending out a warm hello and keep a watch out for the fudwank your gonna encounter watching Feedback.
Settle in for a story that'll make you want retribution, and make you scream.
In the meantime relax with me whilst I play this youtu.be/yg0R-qicL

An original and topical take on the home invasion genre, this is a studio invasion tale starring the great Eddie Marsan as a James O'Brien-like left-wing radio phone-in host, who can usually be found bemoaning Brexit, fake news and Russian interference. But one night his show is interrupted by two armed and very menacing Northern Irishmen. They force him to continue broadcasting, directing the topic of conversation, until it results in a confession of historical rape at an after-party.
That central sequence is so well-handled that no amount of subsequent hostage-taking, brutal violence, exciting chases around the radio station building, or further admissions of guilt are able to bring the film to quite the same heart-stopping peak again, and it can start to feel a bit drawn-out at times. But it gets by on decent performances, stylish set design and the very fact that a cross between Talk Radio and, say, Hard Candy is something you haven't ever seen before.

Always great to see Eddie Marsan in the leading role, something that doesn't happen as much as it should. Marsan stars as a radio DJ who finds his broadcast and his station in lockdown as masked men try to unlock secrets live on air. The film's premise does offer plenty of chance for the small cast of characters to shine and that they all do, there are no weak players but the story, seemingly inspired by the likes of HARD CANDY does lose momentum and is not as finely tuned as initially teased. Enjoyable but likely forgettable.
