The primary problems with this film are, for me, centred around the writing and the editing; these make it rambling and distinctly tedious. Overall I feel it's trying to be a bit like 'Martyrs' but lacks the skill to create the required tension. The acting is okay but the writing is very formulaic and the script feels like there have been too many 'on the fly' modifications and additions. Frankly the whole thing could have been edited down to something nearly half the length.
