I understand depression but I hated how the wild cats and the girl were treated. They should have went to a sanctuary or professional care givers. I hope this young man finds peace without tormenting another human or animal.

It is a must-watch, but when it comes to first impressions, Khadija O.O. (rather Wildcat) is an appropriate title, given her specific instructions to her rescuer were to address her as "Ms (Kat) Young, Operations Officer." Naming the movie Khadija O.O. would be as dark as it is profound, as her Muslim tormentor obviously feared her Muslim name. It is common for distributors to impose bland and corny title changes for marketing, but Jonathan Stokes (director and writer) said he chose the title because "Wildcat does tell her story a bit because it's her (CIA) code name." Blockbusters usually span multiple locations, explosions and drama, but Stokes servers a one-chamber seat-of-the-pants thriller delivering a screenplay with a glossary of convincing CIA protocols and terminology. Peace! Tommy Peters @rottentomatoes @rogerebertofficial #moviereview

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.

One Guy's Opinion

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

Rated: C-

Cinemalogue

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