First of all, what I really liked about this movie was the cinematography. It was very well shot. It took me a while to get what was going on, because the story was being delivered in chunks. This is one of those movies where you see the ending in the beginning of the movie and then the protagonist goes on to tell you how he got there. The initial confusion was a bit annoying, but that's the style of this movie. What I disliked the most were the actors. The protagonist could have been a more well-known actor such as Jason Statham instead of this young rookie in his twenties. The other actors could have been selected from among more good-looking actors, too. I'm one of those who care about how the actors look. It had elements of horror in it; i.e. torture. Some of the torture scenes were too violent for this genre, but not too explicit as to make you want to cover your eyes or anything.
Another factor that could have made this movie more memorable was going for a twist, a surprise ending like in the 2003 movie "Identity". For a moment I thought there was a twist ending and I almost turned off the TV. I wish I had done that, because it didn't end and the ending was a little disappointing and the movie dragged a bit.
In spite of these flaws, I think this movie is well worth watching.
Final Score: 7/10
