Repellent characters populate this overrated revenge story about a man trying to figure out why he was imprisoned. Viewers are subjected to scenes of revenge, incest and torture designed to only shock the audience and apparently nothing more. At best it’s incoherent and at the worst, it’s vile. By the denouement, the “reveal” is so off-putting you feel regret for having watched this stylishly filmed trash. However, stylishly filmed trash, is still trash.

Great review, as always.
Thanks. At one point Will Smith was supposed to star in an American remake with Steven Spielberg attached as director. Apparently the project is now dead.
