Katherine R.

thought the storyline was pretty rough and it had some very brutal scenes.

Yes   |   No

 
Elmer K.

The story is somewhat intriguing enough to keep you interested. Selma Blair plays a woman wronged who wants the past to be fixed. Interested enough to watch.

Yes   |   No

 
Cindy O.

Well cast, Terrifing dark examination of survival instincs and guilt. No abvious plot flaws. Terrifing situations not suitable for the average smoe.
