What happens when a promising premise is betrayed by a dumbed-down, hackneyed screenplay.

This offbeat revenge-thriller offers suspense and mystery that are a cut above anything currently being churned out by the studios.

Despite its uneven tone, the film is compelling and, perhaps more importantly, relevant.

Cheesy enough to be viewed as a parody except nearly everyone involved seems to take it at least somewhat seriously.
