Escaped Convicts (2008 Video)
1/10
Tortured
25 May 2016
A previous reviewer asked how did a film like this ever get made? While that question has yet to be answered, his other suggestion that a 4 year old could have written a better script is to be taken half-seriously, because there are indeed professionally crafted adventure stories on YouTube that have been made by kids not much older than that with little or no adult help, and on an even smaller budget. So what can be said about this rubbish? For rubbish it is. No plot worthy of the name, a couple of jokers for whom profanity is a way of life together with obscene sexual innuendo about women, other men, and each other. The rape scene is disgusting, but credible, as for the rest...A film should have a beginning, a middle and an end; if it is exceptional, they need not come in that order; this one is exceptional only in its mediocrity, and the end comes shortly after the beginning.

Having said all that, "Tortured" has three distinct merits: its brevity, nothing is lost by making its viewing part of your multitasking operation, and its total worthlessness will help you appreciate even the half-decent films you watch in its aftermath.
