This movie seems to want to be a cross between Saw and Hostel, but is no where near as good as either. The overall story isn't bad, but the execution of it just seems to fall short. Michael Madsen has an unexplained eye injury - maybe it was real? - but they never even mention it, he's just got a bandage on his eye throughout the whole movie. The 'bad guy', who is called The Warden, has this weird metallic thing over once of his eyes, presumably to disguise him, I suppose, but none of the characters know who he is, so it seems to be more of a persona than anything else. Some of the makeup FX aren't bad, but apparently when you cut yourself with a box cutter, there's no mark left, just a lot of blood. I've seen some people comment on the acting - a lot of the acting is good, but there's a lot that isn't. It's quite the mix of acting ability. They sort of hint at a sequel at the end, but that is the last thing we need.
