Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

mm-39 Why did they make this movie? Tortured was what happened when I watched this stinker! My wife and I rented this stinker off Video on Demand. When you rent a V O D you end up watching the whole thing. This movie could be the new weapon against terror. I would tell the guards anything after watching this movie 2 or 3 times! The only reason we rented this movie was Cole from Dazed and Confused was in this one. Tortured will torture Cole's acting career. No story and done on a low budget is the jest of this film. A straight for V O D for you. Please do not rent this movie a 3 out of 10. Well when the weather is an -30 you try to hard to find stuff to do at home. Well the Pizza we ordered was OK. mmm Pizza.

rlange-3 Good casting, good acting, intriguing characters, very good pacing all make this an entertaining movie to watch. There is competency and cold blooded efficiency on both sides which one would expect from a top notch operation, and none of the intrusive hyped up dialogue that infests many serious crime movies. None of the actors is weak, with Robert La Sardo particularly impressive in a secondary role. Emmanuelle Chriqui manages to exude sex appeal without a descent into tawdry, and the psychiatrist manages to come off as a solid character and asset to the film.All of this is gradually undermined as the move progresses and the plot unfolds. Although the twists and turns keep things interesting, the major direction becomes increasingly predictable and unfortunately increasingly implausible. It wasn't enough to ruin the movie but it certainly kept it from climbing out of a high midrange rating.

DaBombb316 Pros: enough twists and turns with that dash of suspense and drama to keep someone loaded on Thanksgiving dinner awake for the entire film.Cons: Flashbacks (jumping from the current day back to 6 months before), no closure If you don't mind flashbacks, this is a pretty good movie. The actors in it play their typical roles I felt, which made it a little easier to predict the ending than I would have liked. I do not want to go into any details, so if I sound too vague I apologize.Starting the movie after 2am, I figured I would be bored and fall asleep quite quickly. I was caught off guard by the film, because I had not read anything going into it. It had pretty much all of the necessary elements to satisfy my movie craving...action (the torturing and shooting), suspense (is he telling the truth or not, who is bad, who is good), drama (will she stay or go, will he keep his job or not), and a few twists that I did not see coming (maybe because it was almost 3am).I would highly recommend this movie to most of the people I know.I hope there is a second one to provide a little closure to the movie!!

aimhighfilmz There are films with better plots, and less obvious devices, but what made me continue to watch this film was Cole Hauser. I have seen him in other films as the cocky cop, or the cocky tough guy, but it was nice to see him in a more challenging role. I certainly don't think its award worthy, but I do think that it shows a different side of his abilities, and it may allow him to pursue more dramatic roles in the future. Lawrence Fishbourne and James Cromwell are good enough in their respective roles, but they are both incredible actors and it seems like this film offers them little challenge. Overall the film is worth a rent or a place on your Netflix list.
