It somehow worked enough to maintain focus, probably a credit to the cast and the persistent mystery throughout. A dynamic not seen many times before, at least not for the entire duration of a film not named Hostel, but there is also a bigger story going on that is interesting in it's own right. Far too much focus on the helmet.

This is an interesting twisting movie, showing some great dynamics of how to handle being in and dealing with, multiple situations at the same time,....

If you are a little bit squeamish then this movie is not for you. The severe bondage is painful and bloodthirsty, well acted with an overbearing on the suffering. Strong acting gives this story an edge that makes for entertainment of the highest quality. Photography keeps its distance allowing the eye to absorb the haunting backdrop with twist and turns, shocking. Nibbles: Stuffed Turkey Loaf.

Tortured, for the most part, is the sort of film that you think is going one direction, and ends up going in another. This is largely to the film's benefit, being more concerned with set-up, story, and characters. As a character study, Tortured is helped greatly by a strong performance from Cole Hauser, who does an excellent job keeping up a sustained level of intensity, and has a depth not seen by the rest of the cast, despite some good work by James Cromwell (Laurence Fishburne phones it in for the most part). The writing holds up for most of the film, save the last act, which seems to lose the film's earlier sense of realism. Still, the plot twists help keep it suspenseful, and the execution is enough to keep you engaged. It ultimately doesn't rise much above a B thriller, but for what it is, it works. 3.5/5 Stars

A terrific cast delivering top performances %u2026 but the writing %u2026 ends up tying itself in knots
