A lot better than I thought it was going to be. The description made this sound more like the Saw movies, a movie based on pointless torture to appeal to the viewer via shock value. Instead this was more like a crime drama/thriller involving two police officers trying to find a killer who is getting revenge on the people that raped and disfigured her and killed her mother. Selma Blair does the best acting job I've every seen her do in this as the disfigured and traumatized woman. Stellan Skarsgard plays the hard, bitter cop well too. Something I felt this filmed succeeded in was building tension. There were numerous edge of your seat type moments that were very well executed. A negative would be that I felt it was trying to channel Se7en a little too much at times, but it was bearable.
