ReviewsThe film was released to mixed reviews and currently holds a 4.2 score on IMDb. Total Film's Paul Bradshaw wrote, "With just four actors, a single setting and more twists than a bag full of pretzels, John Langridge’s grimy lo-fi debut is almost smart, taut and nasty enough to bid for the Tarantino comparisons he’s obviously after."[2] The Evening Standard{{'}}s Derek Malcolm found the film "over-ambitious", starting "as an offbeat thriller with pseudo-Pinterish dialogue" and ending up "much like a horror movie."[3]Writing in The Guardian Mark Kermode praised the film, acknowledging that "John Langridge's tortuously twisted warehouse-bound tale of a cuckolded husband seeking vengeance on his wife's lover does at least attempt to get the very most out of very little",[4] while The Independent wrote that the script "meditates on male insecurity and possessiveness", acknowledging however that "the attempt at menace unwisely borrows quotations from Hollywood movies, [a fact] that make [the movie] sound rather wannabe in consequence.”[5] Time Out{{'}}s Tom Huddleston wrote that "the cast make the best" of a script that is "as uninspired as the plot, all muttered threats, cockernee slang and an initially amusing, increasingly wearying overuse of the F-word."[6]References1. ^"Finished projects", TenSixtyEight.com, 2011 2. ^Four, Total Film, 19 October 2011 3. ^[https://www.standard.co.uk/goingout/film/four--review-7427243.html Four review] The Evening Standard, 21 October 2011 4. ^[https://www.theguardian.com/film/2012/may/06/war-horse-strippers-four-buck-dvd], The Guardian, 06 May 2012 5. ^[https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/reviews/four-15-2373938.html Four], The Independent, 21 October 2011 6. ^Four DVD review, Time Out, 19 September 2012 External links
