I found this film to be very real and powerful. The performance from Ms. Dawson was spectacular. The music glues the entire movie together. The story is very typical and I did not find it shocking, but I do think that the characters "descent" is portrayed in a fresh and relevant way. The movie is really about a girl trying to find her way back to who she once was and a realization of permanent change of character.

This is a film for Law and Order: SVU fans. I don't want to spoil the movie but the ending made the movie worth it for me. I thought that the writing was pretty good. At first I thought it was the story of a girls life and then it turns out to be a bit of mystery. I don't like to read the "movie details" so I was surprised all the way through.

I am a huge fan of Ms. Dawson and she committed herself fully to the role, which unfortunately called for her to play dead (and she did that better than any dog I have ever trained). The revenge was somewhat satisfying in the ironic sense (no spoiler here), but frankly, Bronson did it better in any of the Death Wish movies, if you go for that sort of thing. This could have waited for cable. . . Maybe if I had seen the original NC-17 version, but I wouldn't sit through it again even in the unedited version.

The movie was slow and unassuming. The movie dragged on and on until a disturbing ending.

This movie took too long to watch. It took me two days to watch this film.

Stephen S.

This movie's poor writing resulted in an ineffective plot. The characters never seem to develop. Also such a waste of a great actress in Rosario Dawson.

I started of interesting and deep and ended shockingly, but predictable at the same time(If you know what I mean) It was the middle that seen to just hazily move along. I think had to much expectation because of Rosaio Dawson, but I was dissapointed overall.

The beginning of the movie started out promising, and then out of the blue turned into dog crap ! As i am writing this i'm still questioning what I just watched because i'm kind of confused at the end of the movie. There was a great story lurking in the movie somwhere, but is now just a failed attempt at a revenge/ rape movie from a womans point of view.
