Review of Penance (2013) by Duncan S — 03 Feb 2010
The movie is excellent until Tony Todd drops our heroes off at the party. I became entirely engrossed in our heroine's quest to support her daughter. She is as sympathetic as Anna in Martyrs. I was thus aghast to see her butchered in the most insultingly stupid torture porn I've ever laid eyes on.
The torturers' rationale is bogus. Their crimes are illustrated with piss-poor gore effects. The whole thing ends suddenly without any more word on our heroine than a blurb of text. If you feel like paying full price and turning it off as soon as Tony Todd makes his exit, feel free.
But if you keep watching you'll want the rest of the time back.
