Whelm may not be for those who are expecting a quick witted, gun totting action drama, although there are moments of immense tension

The film is a beautifully complex piece that challenges the viewer to pay attention! Requires a 2nd or 3rd watch, but the layers keep peeling back and you keep seeing more you didn't see the previous time. Visually it's breathtaking - the DP is amazing. The directing is superb! Skyler is going to be a force to be reckoned with. The acting is out of this world. If you want to see something new and different - this is it!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This movie was all over the place man, I mean torture with a block of ice is quite original, but it went downhill from the start.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

I’m 40 minutes into the movie. And I’m under-WHELMed. Wanders aimlessly and the dialogue is uninteresting.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
