Guardian

This kidnapping tale gone awry, while not without one or two moments of genuine electricity, is just too nasty for its own good.

Rated: 2/5

Cinema Crazed

... is a thriller that eventually takes a turn into flat out horror with some gross effects and good performances.

Rated: 4/5

Butaca Ancha

Without braking new ground, Adrin Garca Bogliano proves that the horror genre is far from dead. [Full review in Spanish]

Projected Figures

As a thriller it's well-tempered and taut... Yet it is as Oedipal drama, where the tragic trajectory of one person's rise comes only with the destruction of the boss/father, that Bogliano's film finds its strongest (and subtlest) sociopolitical grip.

Loppua kohden tunnelma vinksahtaa entisestään. Alku aika puuduttava.

It comes off until about halfway through as a rather unrealistic story that feels hard to buy, but soon it becomes so unabashedly over-the-top and nasty (with a lot of style, in fact) that it surprisingly works - and even those trembling aerial shots end up being highly unsettling.
