This movie drives home the pain of abuse very effectively, primarily by torturing the watcher with its unending drudgery. Viewer beware: This is not any sort of exciting thriller, there are no shocks, surprises, twists or turns to be had. The tone is miserable from the start to the finish, and the storytelling itself is virtually absent. Almost nothing happens, and everything that does is painfully slow and ultimately inconsequential. It's just another boring straight-to-video quality story about the evil man being bad, with nothing new or innovative. Kendrick's acting is decent enough, but it's not as if she's expected to do anything other than look sadly at her phone for 90 minutes. Avoid.
