AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

mdnace For the record,I have no skin in this game. Just stumbled across this film.I thought the scene on the mountain was very well done - kudos to the actors, especially Ilya. Looks almost like they shot it in one take.The second part is interesting because I am a fan of revenge films. I didn't think it was at all predictable, and felt the protagonist at the end did a good job portraying the moral implications of his actions. The long shot was a good idea. Overall I really enjoyed this movie, which just goes to prove that people have different tastes and opinions.

LittleFerdinand I'm just gonna cut to the chase -- the ending was savage and uncalled for. In this context, Ilya has hurt Chris in unimaginable ways and Chris returning to exact his vengeance makes sense but he didn't have to repeat the same thing that has happened to him earlier. Ilya is Chris's true enemy, not his daughter, Like or her mother Tanya so why the heck would he torture his poor innocent daughter when she has no clue about what her deranged psycho father has done. What happens if a man with a gun decides to be judge, jury, and executioner and, without other people serving as checks and balances, he makes a mistake and kills an innocent? This is what happened with Chris. It strongly believe that Chris has done a terrible mistake by harassing his daughter, who had nothing to do with the murder of his girlfriend and making her suffer for her father's sins was uncalled for. Chris is no better than Ilya if he thinks that revenge is about making an innocent suffer for their sins. I mean come on, his girlfriend might have beenhumiliated, raped, and murdered but that doesn't give him reason to make him suffer by doing the same to his innocent daughter? What the actual ...!! If Chris was so dead set on getting his revenge on Ilya, maybe getting him to confess in front of his wife and daughter would have sufficed. The reason I had to rant about it was because I was really disturbed by the way revenge arc was handled in this film and it was so wrong what Chris did and its unforgivable. It isn't revenge when you make innocents suffer and having power over your enemies always feels good but it is not to be taken lightly, for it is never without consequence.

makbeth-1 A number of reviewers have already voiced their concern at the number of 9 star reviews gushing praise upon this movie. Clearly those are not honest reviews but that should not be enough to put someone off viewing. The premise is interesting and while the execution is mixed in parts the movie as a whole still works. If you can see past a few face palm moments there is a payoff to be had.The impression is that the script was written in one night and that some scenes were done in one take. The natural parts flow naturally but there is clearly and end point that the plot must be strictly aligned with and the narrative cant seem to find natural ways to get us there. The result is that the story does keep ticking towards that end point and the tension is managed brilliantly but at a few key points certain actions decisions or outcomes will make absolutely no sense. As an example, a character may be told to do something ridiculous, they will protest a little and then just do it anyway. Each time they will give a little justifying comment "its only xxx", "we may as well", "it will probably work out this time" etc. This gets particularly bad as it goes on. It starts off with a few excusable forces but gets out of hand rather unapologeticallyThe movie also seems a little too self aware, there is quite a lot of dialogue where characters explain a little too much and there are a few scenes thrown in just to clarify particular points without really adding anything to the end product. There is also a knock on effect on some of the acting as the characters try to get through the unnatural scenes as naturally as possible. If you know anything about the movie going in then you know the basic premise and that is pretty much all the movie is about. Everything else is just the necessary leg work that makes a 9 star short film into a 5 star feature film. There is a gem of a movie to be found here if you can find it but you need to look past a few very silly moments.

Reno Rangan When you see this film poster, that gives an impression of it is some kind of a B movie from the Hollywood. Yes, if it was from the United States, but this is a Georgian film that dominated by English dialogues. Because it is a tale of three young American tourists and theirs unexpected little revenge game that emerges in an unexpected circumstance. Very thrilling, despite it was stretched too much, especially towards the conclusion.It is a similar theme to those like 'I Spit on Your Grave' and 'The Last House on the Left'. So this film does not suit everybody, this is particularly for the adults. You know the psycho character makes uneasy for some viewers like families. I don't know why one should watch it, whether for an entertainment or pleasure from the tortures. Anyway, my anticipation was nothing, because I did not know what kind of film is this. But saw it and I think it is an okay type, particularly being made in and by a Georgian.So when the three American tourists end up camping in a remote place, one of them learns that his girlfriend cheated on him. As a revenge act, he sets up his friend in a landmine and leaves behind along with his girlfriend. How those two struggles to escape from unhurt or whether is it a possible to attempt is the event that follows. The remaining narration is focused to tell when an unexpected help comes their way and from there where it takes us is a little suspense before the finale commence."This Georgian hospitality is wonderful. In the States you'd be lucky for somebody to even open the door."Don't expect it something like 'Kajaki'. But it is the same category film and I liked how a small film like this was improvised its screenplay decently. At a same time, the doubts arise as is it really possible or would it happen in the real world? Who knows what kind of a crazy person is wandering around us, especially in a remote place like in this film. But the film comes to the point by revealing all the event carefully. I mean there's only two events, but how they are developed. Especially the end was expected, but still leaves behind a message how worthy the vengeance is.Since I don't know the cast and crew, it is natural to anticipate a good story over the actors and their character displays. Particularly one of the main characters, the American one looked alike Aaron Paul. No need a source to learn it is a low budget film, but I liked the production quality. I had seen lots of foreign film, I don't recall that I ever saw a Georgian film before.Seems they are not popular in the international arena, so a small film like this is a lot if it reaches the global audience in any platform, even it does not meet the success they were expecting. Just a simple recognition is what worth a lot for them to grow and I think this film did that. Especially for being an English language film is the reason. Even many European film industries doing the same, like making an English language film occasionally.If you are interested in a crime-thriller, you should try this. But I warn you, it is not a Hollywood or a Korean, but still an acceptable for where it comes from. So like I mentioned in the very first paragraph, don't expect too much after seeing its poster. It is a different film, but also there are many tense scenes if you are focused enough to understand the situation in the story. I've mixed feeling while suggesting it, so I won't do that and I can't declare it is one of the worst either. If you get a chance you should try, otherwise don't bother.5/10
