This movie is extremely dark and upsetting. It doesn’t shy away from any subject matter, but often has the decency to keep it just off-screen. Instead of an action-packed thrill ride like many of its peers this film has only a couple of fight scenes, preferring instead to dwell on the menace arising from the main character’s inability to act in the face of depravity. The sparse action scenes are choppily constructed, making them hard to follow and exchange enjoyment of form for expression of tone. Still, it’s coherent and well-told overall, so if you have no content aversion you may enjoy the meager, eventual catharsis.

Content warning: child abuse, organ trafficking
