Reviewed by Cynthia Fuchs
Is it any good?
That Wydell's efforts to get even are so horrific and hypocritical raises questions about vengeance as a pop-cultural (even national or political) theme, in that the pay-off is so meaningless. And concerning Gloria’s sexual torture: There's something to be said for making viewers uncomfortable in the face of such abuses, but this movie says it confoundingly.
