Think of the Hostel's gore and Tarantino's quirky style. That's how I feel about this movie, which is edgy and intriguing. 

A girl is gone missing. The main suspect is caught, but mishandled by the police, causing him to be freed. The leader of the polices team gets sacked for allowing the suspect to be tortured during extraction to find the whereabouts of the missing girl. He's not convinced the suspect is innocent. Then the headless body of the girl is found, making her father, a former military man, vow for revenge. The dismissed police kidnaps the suspect, but it'll turn out that the (now) dead girl's father kidnaps both the suspect and the dismissed police. And then the drama - the showcase of the evil men do - follows, down to the unexpected conclusion. Or, maybe I was expecting it.

Rating: 3.5/4.0
