Truly abomonable - Piercing review by Alphaville
Sundance-style indie film-making at its worst. Long static close-ups of talking heads will soon have you switching off. It may be cheap, but it’s terminally boring. Godard made Breathless for next to nothing. Have modern indie film-makers learned nothing? It’s promoted as a thriller, but it’s too boring to be thrilling. Towards its end it adds some gruesomeness to make you pay attention, but that only makes it even more loathsome.

Difficult to review - Piercing review by PJB
Difficult to review this film as unusually for modern DVDs there were no subtitles. Judging by the other reviews, it did not look as if I have missed anything but it probably tells you a lot a out the film and distributors that they do not take into account people with physical impediments.

An acquired taste - Piercing review by OTR
One needs a high threshold of revulsion to continue watching this film. Abbot is excellent, convincing and compelling but he is not enough to carry the whole film. It is a bizarre film that promises much but fails to deliver in the end.
