I like Alexander Aja but not sure how it can stretch for a whole movie.

I like Aja as well so I’m hoping it’s entertaining but the only thing I was thinking while watching the trailer was, why does she need to recover her memory in order to breathe. Step 1: Get out of there and get some damn air! Step 2: Once you’re, you know, not dead. Then work on recovery of your memory.

Just a complete guess on my part, but after watching the trailer perhaps someone is against all the tests being done on Mice so they want the protagonist in this film to feel like an animal trapped in a lab and ready to die/be experimented on? Regardless, this looks like it could be quite intense and I may give it a shot.

Hope Laurent has a underwear scene in this like she had in 6 Underground.

This was a nice watch. It's not a thrilling as Buried with Ryan Reynolds, but I really enjoyed it. At some point it really made me aggressive, because Mélanie Laurent was wasting so much precious time, but the movie paid off in the end.

Just finished watching and thought it was pretty awesome. I'd say the trilogy to watch out this sub-genre would be:
Buried
Brake
Oxygen
The latter being the sci-fi entry of the three.

This was alright. I feel like 10-20 should have been trimmed to keep the pacing tighter.

Agreed that it should have been a bit shorter, but overall I dug it a lot, especially the third act, though I would have preferred
My main complaint was when
Still... This was better than I expected.

Laurent was awesome. Loved how the story unwound and more details about her situation were revealed. Great little film

Pretty much the same thoughts I had. I was entertained by it and it was better than expected.
