This movie is graphic and is not easy for a person such as myself who does not like movies Rated R or worse for violence, drug use, bawdy language and sex but this movie just seemed like it was going somewhere with a hidden them of impact - so I watched it. I must admit that I fast forwarded through a lot of the graphic violence and gratuitous sex but still didn't lose the flow of the story. My final assessment of the film is that it had a important message to send out to we the consumer to hopefully help us become aware of problems that exist within our society for women even in today's so called "enlightened" society. Regardless of the woman's profession - there are men in that same profession who are willing to assault their coworkers. The movie left me feeling somewhat soiled but I still found it hard to not want to keep watching to know what is this all about - the plot? I am glad I didn't turn it off and did watch. It was a good movie with a lot of "hold your breath" moments and "OMG what is going to happen now". A good thriller. In my opinion, an important social problem revealed through watching this film.

I was quite surprised with how good this movie was. It is revenge trash exploitation, but the acting is very very good, the plot proceeds with enough surprises to keep you guessing a little bit, the pacing and direction are good, the violence, both psychological and physical, have impact. Almost no one in this is completely innocent, or completely guilty. There are titties and rape and shooting and mutilation, so not for everyone. But, if you like movies like Texas Chainsaw, or Saw, you should give this a try. Much, much more intelligent that those movies and much better acted.

I recently had the privilege of sitting in on a screening of 'Deeper', formally named 'X-Bus'. I was impressed. I enjoyed this "Good Plan Gone Wrong" thriller. Andrew Francis and Jessica Harmon both give the performances of a lifetime, perfectly portraying each others foils. A horror movie set in the world of 'gonzo' backseat porn was long overdue, but it happened,and the sensation of being on both sides of the lens, is not unlike being on the receiving end of a loaded .45...intense. I'd compare this movie to titles like 'They Call her One-Eye'(1973), 'Ms 45'(1981), 'Deliverance'(1972) or to be more modern 'Nightcrawler'(2014). Keep and eye out for this one Film Enthusiasts, and remember, don't get into cars with strangers...

I have no idea what movie the people who are hating on this watched but it wasn't this one. This is a very engaging, tense ride. We basically have the scum of society in the digital age versus the angel of retribution, except the angel is flawed indeed. The performances are strong, one in particular is chilling (I don't do spoilers, so I won't say which one.) Do yourself a favor, watch the movie and draw your own conclusions, you will either love it or hate it - no middle ground seems to exist here. I'm firmly in the "love it" camp. Myself. Your mileage may vary, be sure to let us know after watching.

Just a dumb movie. Really stupid movie in all aspects.
