Summary - Very Good 3.5

This movie is portreyed in reverse order, and was at times an extremely hard to watch, graphic and disturbing portrayal of a rape and the victim’s husband and his friend’s effort at justice. The film was shot in such a way to make you feel disoriented and in general the audio and visual effects are quite jarring. This isn’t a film recommended for the faint of heart, but for those who can take it – it is a scary and horrific exposure of things that do happen everyday in real life.

Acting - Great 4.0

So real, it could have been a documentary.

Film - Very Good 3.5

A little too much spinning/jerking — very disorienting — which I don’t think is as critical to making a bit impact as others think.

Edge - Horrid 4.5

Graphic, Crude, and hard hitting. Be forewarned.

See above. This is *not* for the faint of heart.

Reality - Natural 1.0

Unfortunately, this is reality. The movie forces us to see things most of us spend our time pretending doesn ’t exist
