Andres Gomez (Rated: 5)
Very good performances from Ellen Page and Catherine Keener for quite an empty movie.
Could have been done much, much better with a proper direction and script.
HikariWS (Not rated)
Nice point of view of the torturers.
It'd be easy to just show them as evil demons having fun doing bad things. I liked how the script portrays what they might had thought, sometimes very subtle.
As the guy who had a crush on her and was rejected while she was still free, and later marked her....
