A mind-grinding suspense filled with sadistic & cruel entertainment!

Rating: 7/10 (4 November 1999)

Watching a mouse get through a labyrinth may be interesting, but subjecting a successful human to a similar maze of cruel situations is sadistic. If you enjoy watching others suffer, you will love this movie. I personally found the plot simple, but cruel, and not the best way to become entertained. I questioned myself often, "Why do people find this plot to be entertaining?" This film is an excellent teacher for psychologist students to witness the extremes that people go to, for teasing and tormenting of the human spirit. One can easily see the despair of the lead character, and see that the tormenter had no compassion. I concluded the lead character,himself, didn't possess compassion.
There is little in this film that could make a viewer feel good. It is just a "gang up on a victim and torture 'em senseless" film.
Definitely not suitable for tender or youthful minds.
