The movie is painful and as some other people who commented before me said, it is a roller coaster: slow-fast-slow. Basically it is a story of revenge of a girl forced to prostitute herself and be the maid of a prostitution house. The effects are incredibly realistic and the acting is really good. It is really full of blood and injuries if you like that, which is OK for me, but besides that, I think that, instead of being considered a thriller movie, or horror, or blood, or whatever, the real value of the movie, is that it dares to talk about something that until few years ago: the human traffic. It happens in all the countries in all possible economy and class levels, in all kinds of education. Many women are forced to sell their bodies for some food after being kidnapped or (in this case) survived the war. And specially, if you consider the after war panorama that happens in this movie (it is not explicit in the rest of the girls, though), where, probably all of the girls locked in the house lost their families, or at least some family members, probably got raped and robbed one or many times before being kidnapped or found by the dealers, and where the main customers are soldiers or authorities, then, it is a very sad eye opener for this situation. I've seen some other movies with the same theme before, but not as crude as this one, where the injuries inflicted in the girls are really real and the violence scenes really explicit. However, since the "revenge" starts, it lost credibility for me, and became too much of a wannabe Hollywood persecution movie. And when Angel gets in the house of the wife of the soldier she killed it is becoming common place in many movies. I would have avoided that scene and jumped to the next part. However, the idea was good.
