After an American tourist steps on a landmine, he is forced to watch his girlfriend get assaulted.
The brutalisation of three female characters is horrific, but it would be a presumptuous leap to suggest the film itself flexes a misogynistic creed. Such assertions would woefully misconstrue Bakhia's thematic subtext, which is an examination and comment on the male mind warped by patriarchal thinking and a manipulative form of self-exculpation/cowardice.
It's an exploitation film that never gets its audience off, even with cheap thrills — what a dud.
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
What should have been a tautly paced B-movie thriller instead comes to feel like a mini-series, leaving the viewer too much time to ponder the silliness of its narrative contrivances.
Los Angeles Times by Katie Walsh
It's a shame that what could have been an intriguing situational thriller devolves into a hateful, arduous drag
There can be only one.
Based on a true story.
Vengeance is ruthless.
Out here, there's nowhere to hide.
No water. No power. No explanation. No escape.
