Phil The Alien 7/10

A goofy little flick but fun. It cracked me up the secret agent was using an old Nintendo Duck Hunt gun painted silver. I looked it up on imdb.com and I guess I'm not the only one who noticed, lol!

All I will say is, if you are a fan of Oldboy & the Mr. Vengeance films, you are going to love this. A raw, unflinching, dark and gritty revenge tale.

Recommended as well. A nice little film (albeit a bit predictable) made on a shoestring budget.

Very few films have genuinely appalled me, and this is one of them. To term this movie as "disturbing" would be - stretching the definition of the word to as extreme as it can get, which basically means the highest level of "disturbing" as you can think of. If there is such a phrase as "very alarmingly disturbing", this would be it. You will feel revolted, disgusted, shocked beyond your wits, jaw will drop to the floor, but you will also feel a lot of admiration for the makers. It is not an easy film to watch, be warned.

Yeah, it was kind of 'disturbing' but it didn't shocked me that much in terms of torture, gore or disturbance whatsoever; I thought it was quite decently done, liked some parts but overall, nothing new (in terms of disturbance) to the genre.

I strongly disagree, but to each their own. I leave it to others to evaluate the film.

Loved it. Good horror comedies are hard to come by, and this is right up there with the best of the contemporary.

And I thought things couldn't get better! Superb film, and highly recommended. Right up there with Shaun, Zombieland, et al. You are going to love it.
