Unemployed musician Brad is at home when terrorists set off a dirty bomb in LA, where wife Lexi works. Brad manages to seal up the house against the clouds of toxic dust: Lexi manages to struggle home through the chaos and Brad, following instructions, won't let her in.
This small scale movie is quietly horrifying on both personal and impersonal levels as Brad and Lexi start to come to terms with what has happened and its likely consequences. There is a twist which is, frankly, both unbelievable and unnecessary but, putting that to one side, there is an air of credibility surrounding this claustrophobic drama.
It is quite well written, well performed and directed, and moderately gripping. But it is not likely to leave you with warm fuzzy feelings afterwards.
