Overrated torture porn dressed up as “cinema.” It’s basically two sadistic men playing a sick ego game while women exist mostly to be brutalised, disposed of, or used as emotional leverage. The film mistakes escalation for depth and cruelty for meaning, then asks the audience to applaud it as art. Yes, it’s well-shot and competently acted, but technical skill doesn’t magically turn exploitation into profundity.
