Nonureva Really Surprised!

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Konterr Brilliant and touching

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

SashaDarko Unlike some other capture/torture movies which focus more on torture than anything else (like an extremely overrated The Loved Ones), this one is mostly about revenge and capturer making a point. In this case one pretentious rich asshole proving another asshole what he doesn't deserve to call himself a restaraunt critic. Practically all characters in the movie are assholes except the critic's wife, so you just wish both of male leads just kill each other in some assholish 1-vs-1 standout. It's a decent thriller with the actual story and it's interesting enough to watch it at least once. The ending is not believable, but made so for the quite ironic scene.

Sarah C. Why am I even here expressing my opinion on this movie as it is as pointless as watching this movie? The movie left a blank trail in my mind, absolutely not moved with me at all. That particular feeling about the overall atmosphere of the movie reflects my score not the fact whether I liked the movie or not. I liked certain aspects of the movie (the psychological aspect) while simultaneously hating the other (the premise which was plain simple dull). It's just the amount of things from the latter category was *slightly* higher.I tried not to take the movie seriously, just switch off my brains and let it take me to an eighty minutes journey but instead it just took me to the woods and that's pretty much it. I hate the woods. It's like if the producers intended this movie to be an anti-organic food propaganda that will make you hate anything organic because the movie probably makes you associate it with an arrogant psychopath with unresolved issues from childhood, or that's what they believe. The cook wasn't one, you know, but the storyline pretty much turned him into one. I guess the director didn't really have a clue how to conclude the movie leaving you (and the director) pretty much confused. But what did I expect, Hollywood blockbuster type of three dimensional story? Michael Bay? The movie promised a bitter feast and I (expletive) got my bitter cold feast so maybe I should give it ten stars instead. As you see ratings are very arbitrary and relative.I would go even further to expand on the variety of topic this movie points at, like all media-approved and supported society faults, consumerism and all the like blah blah, all of it to justify "snap outs" but all aforementioned examples were presented in a very shallow manner and don't mean a thing.(SPOILER) WHY even make JT Franks' wife a victim when she had nothing to do with that? Why that scene with her taking a bath trying to make a suspension out of nothing make it look like some kind of horror when the scene did not fit the movie's pace at all? Completely pointless scenes just for the sake of the genre only. That's not how I like my movies. (/SPOILER)The power of internet 2.0 is way too strong to be extinguished which would reflect the humorous side of the movie basically telling that everyone is and can be JT Franks when they write a displeasing comment and some people 1,000 miles away get upset to the point of desiring to murder you. Is that the green light for you to make a movie? A short story on paper yes, movie? Don't do that.I am amused at the glimpse of thought of producers of this movie going on a killing spree targeting everyone on the internet who gave this movie a bad review (Daniel Rodrigues, Paul Andrews, Boptrax, TrukDrivr, slatromhsiloof I'm looking your way). Now THAT should be the sequel about.

Daniel Rodrigues This movie is lame...sooooo lame... The story, even though a bit original, is boring. A chef, that gets angry at a bloguer, for saying bad things about his program, and about his restaurant, kidnaps and tortures him, really bad, in order to make him suffer some regret for the "bad deeds" he has done. Stupid story, stupid actors, with stupid role play... The only good part in this film, is the death of the detective, that the bloguer's wife hired to search for him... Unfortunately this kind of crap is more and more normal, nowadays... Stay away...if you want to see torture movies, try Last House on the Left or I spit on your grave...both versions (72 and the modern one). This one is forgetful...a waste of time...

Matt Kracht Apparently, this movie is low budget, but I couldn't tell. I wish I could say that about every independent movie I see! The other reviews are spot on: this is a very good movie, with a tasteful, somewhat fresh spin on the revenge movie, bucking the recent trend of gross-out, "torture porn" films. There's no actual torture in this movie, though it's implied and almost certainly is happening, off-camera. Some might be disappointed by this. Myself, I find it somewhat refreshing to watch a revenge movie that focuses more on psychological horror, story, and pacing, rather than buckets of fake blood. Don't get me wrong; I like buckets of fake blood as much as the next guy (I liked the first Saw movie, for instance), but much of that genre is based on titillating people who get off on graphic displays of violence, frequently with a strong misogynist subtext. I'm glad that the genre horror has more life to it than that.Everything in this movie was quite good, though I might have tweaked the story here and there, to highlight certain themes a little stronger and to give a little more time to the very interesting conflict between the two leads. Overall, though, I liked it quite a lot, and I recommend it to anyone who likes darker dramas, revenge movies, and/or independent cinema. There's so much to like here, that you'll easily overlook any flaws.
