Synopsis
Two men fortify and soundproof an abandoned apartment, kidnapping and imprisoning the daughter of a millionaire for ransom. Her kidnappers, the coldly efficient Vic and his younger accomplice Danny, have worked out a meticulous plan, but Alice is not going to play the perfect victim…. This taut, emotionally intense thriller eschews genre conventions, generating tension from the sexual and psychological ties that bind captive to captors. —Tribeca Film Festival

This movie was made for Park Chan-Wook to direct. Too bad J Blakeson was assigned for the job because, despite an interesting premise and a promising first half hour, it's a meandering mess of a film polluted by hair-brained characters constantly blowing it.

Thrillernya terasa biasa seh. Untung aja masih suka sama si Gemma, maennya 'Hot'.. (2.5/5)

Stylish direction good editing, good actors. Entertaining menage-à-trois. The scenes in the forest must be a direct reference to "Miller's Crossing".
