This is a 2006 British film directed by Andrea Arnold. It tells the story of Jackie Morrison, a CCTV security operator who observes through her monitors a man from her past. Filmed by handheld cameras and with natural light, it appears amateuristic. In the film, she is presented as a person who observes parts of Glasgow through the CCTV lenses, but rarely participates in this world. She lives somewhat of an isolated existence. Suddenly, she becomes obsessed with this particular man and starts following him. You might wonder how come she's doing this. Jackie attends a party at the man's flat on Red Road with a view to finding out more about him. The tension builds as it is not revealed immediately in the film as to why she is so obsessed with the man. You receives very little information as to why Jackie chooses to pursue this person with such determination. At the end, however, I'm kinda dissapointed because my built-up thrill and suspence somehow disappears at all.
