Zakes is just an average guy surviving on a average job when something happens, like many of us he is willing to tell someone and attempt to do something, but after the pass of responsibility is given to someone else he believes it's not his problem any more.
This film shows how small things we do to people, like letting someone's tyres down because of a reason such as supporting another team it can have drastic affects in the long run.
Zakes has lost his girlfriend in more ways than one, and the white truck becomes more of his problem than it did before, not once does he state he is trying to save the other girl he saw just his girlfriend, he's not trying to be a hero he's just doing what someone would actually do.
Some area's of the film could be criticized such as the car running out of fuel, but we all know how quick fuel runs out when we're on the motorway and when the car stutters and starts to slow, old car's like that do struggle to keep up pace. If anything the fact it didn't breakdown is more unrealistic. I've heard the battery dying was another cliché but the girl who is on it removes the battery so he can't ring anyone, as she puts it back in later on to ring the man.
The camera only ever leaves Zakes when it goes to his girlfriend when Zakes is doing his posters other than that your constantly with him, or being flicked to the security guys for a brief insight into how his girlfriend went missing. This constant sticking with Zakes is essential to keeping the fear factor, such as when he has to hide in the truck the camera is on Zakes, and you can only hear the footsteps, you do not know if the door is going to open or not. The fact Zakes 'talks' to himself and swears is a key part, as in so many films of this type they do not swear or say anything, the fear in his voice and eyes is apparent and William Ash does a brilliant job in bringing you into his feelings, of being terrified of something your chasing.
Zakes goes through a hard time in this, especially after he finds out his girlfriend has cheated on him he still wants to save her. Showing love is a powerful factor and everything isn't over when the worst happens.
Overall this film is easily under-rated, how it slipped under the radar compared to other over-hyped garbage we constantly see is unknown, but this film, given the right advertisements would have easily been a well worth profit maker. The ending wasn't great we're the credits stopped while it went back to the security dude, but how do you end an amazing film like that.
Easily worth the watch, brings emotion and feeling into you and would be a good film to watch with a partner.
