A total letdown..

This movie could have been a more elaborate 'I Spit on Your Grave'. While it does go further into the ethics as to whether two wrongs make a right, it lacks the strong punch that made 'Spit' unforgettable.

All in all there is more talk than action. Castration is intense yet the movie drops the ball. I'd like to see more of the villains in the post-castration mode. Boring with an ending that barely registers.
