I can kind of and kind of not understand the hate for this film.
It's set in Savannah (and take it from someone who's been everywhere) which is one of the most beautiful cities on earth... and it doesn't really feature Savannah.
And it's content is kind of rapey BDSM before 50 Shades of Grey and before the new SJW crap that would make a movie like this impossible to be made... or even talked about.
So I can understand the hate.
But it does dramatic tension pretty well. And it does thrilled pretty well. And it does tension pretty well... ad when you sit down and watch a movie like this those are all very important things. Without them, you just have erotica...
... and I can understand the hate because it doesn't really do erotica well, but I don't think it was meant to do erotica well. I'm pretty sure it was meant to be a tension driven film, but the subject matter made and the nudity made it billed as an erotic thriller and, thus, killed the expectations people had walking into it.
So what kind of works as a tense thriller turned out to be awkward erotica. I guess it all depends on what you thought you were watching when you rented it.... but, of course, the cuts also killed it.
