It started out really well; crisp direction, good acting, interesting script. Twenty minutes later, is degenerated into gratuitous violence and gore. Another 90 minutes and we finally get to understand the protagonist's motivations. Then, in an ending worthy of the worst of Stephen King, everybody dies.
Rarely do I watch a film that makes me think: "Well, that's two hours of my life I'll never get back." But this is one of them. Maybe we'll get lucky and the director will get a real job flipping burgers and we'll never have to see anything by this guy again.
Had I noticed the director also wrote the film, I would have known the potential for disaster here. When you combine those two functions, there's no one to yank the leash.
Shamefully awful. If you enjoy torture, go watch Heaven's Gate.
