8/10
The film's general nature is quite disturbing since it deals with kidnapping, ransom, revenge, and the loss of a loved one.
Even though the film contains strong brutal and bloody violence in some scenes the camera techniques are cleverly used to avoid the viewers seeing the direct actions, and this adds to the brutality of the deeds, but the violence is still very brutal.
