After that what happens tells the movie...
Will they succeed in escape from their crime, or police caught them...
Film shows people who look nice and polite could have do something bizarre like this.
Director may be successful in showing the mental situation of protagonist, but story itself is not very great, have a sad tone. Sometimes, it looks like as an attempt to justifying what they have done. Other time movie tries to get you aware that darker side of some people which might be in your neighborhood looking very good and nice people, but they are not.
Good thing in movie are performances are ok, direction is good, screenplay is engaging, but story is not inspiring, good, and heart touching.
It may be liked by fan of crime and gory films.
Remember it is movie of disgusting genre before watching.
Reviewer Verdict: You will miss nothing if you avoid this film.
