Taped

A Dutch couple, on vacation in Argentina to rekindle their failing marriage, witness a police shooting.  With no where to turn, tension rises as their situation grows increasingly desperate.  As the title might imply, part of the film is recorded shakey-cam style using the couple's camcorder.  Fortunately for the audience, though, that genre is falling out of favor, and the film quickly adopts a hybrid style where a professional third-party camera is used more than half the time.

I think the film hits all its marks, and while the overall plot is somewhat predictable the individual twists and turns make for a good, if suspenseful, adventure.
