Negative

Negative—This movie contains over the top, extremely graphic torture scenes. Premarital relations are included. Usually there is a “good vs. evil” that can somewhat justify violent films, however that is not how this story plays out. The main character turns out to be as vile, evil and torturing as the villain. Please skip this one. Disappointing, since Bruce Willis and Josh Duhamel are good actors and have chosen much better scripts in the past.
My Ratings: Moral rating: Extremely Offensive / Moviemaking quality: 5
