CGiii Comment

Dyer’s acting isn’t good and certainly not worthy of a lead role...particularly when the leading lady (Gillian Anderson) is so good – but, alas, even she can’t save this film.

Dyer gets beaten up (and then hits the bottle) as his girlfriend gets gang-raped.

With a modicum of intelligence, you know what the conclusion will be – no surprises, no imagination – just another flat revenge flick with a terrible title.

The(ir) Blurb...

After the installation of an alarm system by the twenty-three year old low-class Adam in her fancy upper class apartment, the sophisticated owner Alice invites him to go with her in her boss' "opening house" boring party in the countryside. Adam dates Alice and has a dream night in the fashionable party inclusive having sex with her. While driving back home in a lonely road in the middle of the night, Alice hits a deer and the couple parks the car to remove the wounded animal from the road. However, a van stops and a gang brutally assaults Adam and rapes Alice. One month later, Adam is impotent with Alice, has awful scars in his face and a blind eye and the traumatized Alice returns to her work. However, she is informed that her father has passed away and she travels back to the countryside to visit her father's home. While driving back home, she meets one of her rapist by chance and she discovers where he lives. Alice meets Adam and convinces him to come with her to take revenge ...
