This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Nicolas Cage's Oscar award (for Leaving Las Vegas (1995)) makes a cameo in the film. Look for it, wrapped up in black string/laces on Eddie Poole's desk when Cage breaks in to tap Poole's phone.… Expand

The generally poor response to this astoundingly bold "mainstream" movie - which frankly only looks better with age - is the reason why our multiplexes are chock-full of Marvel movies. You reap what you sow, people.

I loved this movie because of the dark nature of the film and what it depicts. It shows the struggle between the evil and good of man and one of the darker sides of our humanity.

This was a different story, not the Hollywood tried and true, and timely, snuff films and the hordes of young people going to Hollywood to be a big star. Living in LA, yes, there are a lot of people who think they are going to be stars. Maybe it's a comment on our society and mass media. It's hard to fault Nicholas Cage for this performance, was he trying for his Leaving Las Vegas persona, or was it the director who called the shots?… Expand

Tom Welles (Nicholas Cage) is hired by an elderly woman who finds a snuffThis is one of the darkest, grittiest, and scariest films I have ever seen. The reason? It's simple, this could actually happen! This probably has happened before! Tom Welles (Nicholas Cage) is hired by an elderly woman who finds a snuff film among her late husband's possessions. She wants to know if it's real and if it is wants to pay the family for her husband's mistakes. The investigation takes Welles down a deep dark road that few travel and even less know about. The story is just so dark and creepy that some of you might actually be freaked out by it! Cage is amazing as always, leading a terrific cast, that includes Joaquin Phoenix and Tony Soprano himself, James Gandolfini. It's a very strong story that will chill you to the bone. It's defiantly not for everyone, but it was right up my alley!… Expand

A very intense and captivating psychological thriller. Often, films like this get lambasted when the subject matter is stronger than critics anticipate. Exploitative? Sure it is, but it's no B-movie.

Sure it is, but it's no B-movie. There's tense action, good acting, and some decent cinematography here. It just happens to be about snuff porn. Check your moral indignation at the door before renting.… Expand
