Well made and thoroughly unpleasant

This film was recently posted on IMDb for viewing in the United States viewing only.

This is a hard film to rate, as how much you like it or not will really depend on your tolerance for watching brutal spousal abuse. As an ex-social worker and therapist, I have frankly seen too much in my lifetime and don't want to see films like this. However, some may enjoy seeing it or get some cathartic pleasure out of eventually seeing the bully get his. I just think for me, life is too short for a film that is really a giant brutal fight.

As far as the production values go, this isn't a bad film at all, though there isn't a lot of exceptional dialog. And, when the lady is horribly beaten and he stops, her then announcing he MUST leave was pretty nutty and most (though not all) abused spouses would never do this the moment the beating stops! Still, it was technically a fine film.

See it if you like--just don't say I didn't warn you.
