I rented this movie because I like the actors who play the protagonists. However, the film is boring simply because it is edited in such a way that very early on the film shows you what happened to the missing woman. Why bother watching the rest?
***spoilers below*** So, the filmmakers genuinely expect us to watch how two policemen find a woman, who was presumed dead a few years back, but we know she is hidden in a tank by a psychopath. Great. The movie trots on, and when the policemen are about to find her, we see a "management summary" of how evil the guy is, who is keeping her in a tank (as if that were not enough). We see how he killed an old pal and abused someone in his orphanage, etc. But there is no clue as to why this guy is so crazy, why he hurt so many people, why he chose her for this form of torture. So in the end, I don't even freaking care about the whole plot. Yes, the policemen found a woman who was suffering and no one else would have found her, had they not been so stubborn... But, really? That is ALL the film has to offer? This has been done a hundred times with much more suspense and allure, why bother with this old bore? I wouldn't watch it again if I got paid for it! Note for parents: At the video store where I got the film, it was rated for children 6 years and up. I disagree entirely, this movie is not a children's movie.
