Trivia
The scene where Trent Haaga's character rapes Deniz Akkaya's character created a stir in Turkey, where Akkaya is a famous model. Interviewed by medias, Akkaya admitted that she had a hard time in the rape scenes: "This is not a scene you can try and work with. You have a hard time getting into that psychology. I would think if the same offer came in Turkey, but I would never accept it." The scene is very graphic and disturbing. "I saw the actors there for the first time. It was very difficult for me, but it ended in one shot. We didn't have to shoot it over and over," added Akkaya.

ubi pus, ibi evacua

Sometimes a movie is so comprehensively awful it has a destructive effect on your morale. You begin to really ask yourself, what does it mean for our society that the standard is so terribly low? Can they honestly expect that we'll endure this many clichés and still be entertained?

Of course, it is still a Hollywood mainstay to make the GUN the major character, plot device, and the source of all conflict and resolution in films. Character needs a gun. Gets a gun. Can't do that because he has a gun. Puts his gun down first. OH MY GOD What are we going to do!? He has a gun! He waves it around, acting more malicious than real human beings ever do. He pushes it in someone's face for 90 minutes, shouting questions. The hallmark of any conclusion will be the comforting sound of police sirens.

It's a real challenge to make such a tired, hackneyed formula work again; a film has to be very clever and well executed. This one is neither. It has no life and no personality, and it will suck these components from YOU. it will make you feel WORSE about living in the time and space that you do. Really, who needs that!? So yes, I'll say it: I think this may well be the worst film I have ever seen. Anyone who was involved in the making of this sub- mediocre soul killing trash should be publicly embarrassed for the disservice they've done to us all.
