An uncharacteristically brilliant and restrained performance from Vincent Gallo provides the foundation for Skolimowski's grueling and breathtakingly exciting journey into isolation, captivity, existentialism and human survival.

In his stripped down, dialogue free, chase-film, Skolimowski achieves more of an in-depth exploration of the human condition, modern society and the consequences of violence than a dozen recent mainstream efforts.
