3/4

It's the blurring of boundaries that makes Wildcat more than just an excruciating series of intensifying scenes of torture, disorienting for the audience as well as the characters.

The film tips its hand a little early ... but Georgina Campbell, who won a BAFTA TV Award for Best Actress for 2014's Murdered by My Boyfriend, turns in a gripping performance.

C-

While 'Wildcat' is meant to be a nerve-racking battle of wits, it remains pretty much a stolid intellectual exercise that never takes off.

Thoughtful drama on terrorists, that focuses on torture as a means of gathering information.

Downplaying the broader sociopolitical context, the film doesn't develop the characters sufficiently to raise the emotional stakes.

I thought it was pretty well done but it dragged and was a little tedious and repetitious. I doubt I'd ever want to watch it again. Watch it if there's nothing else on.
