Ratings and reviews

An unoriginal yet interesting premise, with some gritty hard-hitting scenes of graphic torture, but obvious and forced moral dilemma makes it a little frustrating to watch at times. Not an all-out gruesome horror, yet not a thinking man's movie either. Left me feeling a bit empty.

What an amazing film. So much can be said without words. Gripping, brutal but ultimately heart breaking. This is what I would want to do if anyone hurt my child. I'm sure every parent would feel the same.

Some scenes bit long and stretched, great soundtrack adds to the movies tension and emotion. Bit too depressing for me though. But I liked it.
