"It's impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it"

Tedious and ambitious.
British Reviewer
4.4/10
The actors tried really hard to make something of a very thin screenplay. The plot was fine, the visuals actually great for what was clearly a tiny budget and the editing good.
Harvey Keitel was chronically underused but maybe that was a contractual thing and Kurylenko was quite decent although not believable as an ex-addict; too beautiful!
The main problem for me was the poor screenplay, script and pacing. The plot crawled along at an agonisingly slow pace at it's worst and the twist incredibly improbable.
Still, it's better than Twisters and A Quiet Place: Day One on a fraction of their budgets.
