Its clichs grow slightly funny. But not funny enough to make the endless torture scenes bearable.

[It] suggests only that ferreting out new ways to inflict pain requires more imagination than anyone on hand realized.

This uninspired exercise frighteningly proves that torture porn revenge has become merely pedestrian.

D-

A stupendously inane and pointless slice of revenge-based horror whose title might as well describe the audience watching it.

The concept was good: parents of child that was killed abduct the killer and torture him when justice isn't served. But weird twists and some far out happenings make it less believable. Not Christensen's finest.

I loved the movie. Disappointing twist felt bad for the innocent guy.

This movie had a major mistake. If the torture victim was not actually the right killer, how was he able to tell the parents their sons name???? No idea how the filmmakers messed that up.

Twisted and heart-breaking. And actually sends a message. A simple message, but a message.
