The Good:                Some nice cinematography, gory kills and...
                                  Sean Bean!
 
The Bad:                   No motivation, cookie cutter characters,
                                   illogical action and one of the most
                                   unrewarding and useless shower scenes in the
                                   genre.
 
The Rating:              4 out of 5 shots
 
The Bottom Line:    A typical plot finds two young, hip twenty-somethings involved in a deadly game against an insane Sean Bean. But we’re left asking, “Sir, what is your motivation?” And alas, the script give us no clean reason why Sean is doing what he’s doing, so we can never hate nor be afraid of him. As far as out heroes, they’re so bland we had forgotten the boyfriends name until the credits rolled. Lacking in any real tension or horror, it quickly becomes an endurance test, and we’re all the victims. A few pretty landscapes and the creepiness that a one demential Bean-inator exudes prevents us from gouging our eyes out. Instead, we feel rather ripped in twain.
