This is one of those movies where I constantly had mixed feelings about it. Sometimes I thought the movie wasn't going anywhere, plus that the acting is not the greatest but at the end I thought it wasn't a bad movie at all. There were some scenes that were hard to watch. Scenes where I wanted to jump out of my couch and beat the crap out of some characters but when I think about it, it is a good thing that I felt like that because it means that the story got to me. At one point I thought it was never going to end and one character in particular was really annoying me. It's a low budget movie, with no outstanding actors, but the story all fits together at the end. It's about revenge and it gets emotional. Moral of the story, don't do to others what you don't want to be done to you.

That "Chris" guy might be the worst actor I've ever seen.
Whether the landmine goes off or not, there will be explosion
Men are drawn to anger or vengeance in a very primal form, from display of injustice to random road rage. There's something viscerally fascinating about people trapped in extreme predicament, and this movie capitalizes on this so well. With only three simple acts, it's a startlingly engaging clash of personalities, although this may get a tad overly intense or violent.
Story follows a group of friends while they are on vacation. Unfortunately, one of them steps on a landmine. Thus they find themselves in precarious position, especially when they are harboring a nasty secret and an unfriendly local stumbles upon them. For the sake of not revealing too much, the plot is not complex, in fact it's very streamlined to more effectively convey the emotions.
This is also not a big budget movie, its presentation practically hinges around the small cast of actors. There are many continuous shots at play here, each scene would resume for a good few minutes, giving the characters plenty of time to plead, antagonize or scream at each other. It doesn't have much gimmickry, often relying on the human drama to carry each scene.
It's a steady approach for thrill that's astonishingly effective in its simplicity. Audience would be engrossed in the struggle just by the sheer grim of the situation. However, this also creates a couple of problems. One being that the condition itself is rather implausible, mainly exaggerated for dramatic purpose. The second is the use of violence, this is by nature a very visceral story, even though it's mostly psychological, but it might not be everyone's cup of tea.
Landmine Goes Click does one thing very well, as soon as it triggers there's a very intense mentally exhausting and gritty human drama, it's a cavemen reaction and a surprisingly compelling one.
