Rupture

Because of the mostly bad reviews and a not so interesting marketing campaign I delayed to watch this movie for a long time.

Now, that I did catch up on it I'm glad I watched it. Rupture is way better than the reviews. If you're into sci-fi, intimate theatre, and don't expect non-Stop action I suggest you give it a chance. It offers An interesting plot, decent artworks, and good acting of capable actors.

The ending falls a little short compared to the previous acts.

This is a totally spoiler free review because it's best to see this film without knowing what to expect.

I watched this film with no expectations in mind at all, and i have found it watchable. Yes, it's nowhere near any of the best sci-fi movies, but it's an alright watch.

The dialogue of the movie is kind of lame and that's the thing that bothered me, but when it comes to the pace of the movie it's really good, i can guarantee you will not be bored. As for the plot, it's intriguing and I can't say you haven't seen it before, but i found it OK.

In the end, Rupture is a good watch at home when you have nothing to do and feeling like killing some time. Not great, not bad either, just mediocre.

So people/characters in this may seem cold and this may seem a bit too much for some. And it has its flaws, but it still builds a stellar case in the thriller department (though many will also put in Horror, Science Fiction and Fantasy territory). The movie is not for everyone and I did cringe at times.

But there is more to it than meets the eye (no pun intended). And if you allow yourself to take the journey, you may not understand everything, but you will have a tension filled film. Now that sounds vague, but don't expect the movie to do all the thinking for you either. Well lit and photographed, this is a trip of a different proportions

Not terrible. Sort of interesting, and sort of scary conceptually. Noomi Rapace makes this movie watchable. Without her, my rating might have been a "2" at best. Her acting sells the story, and provides some emotional connection for the viewer.

'RUPTURE': Three and a Half Stars (Out of Five)

A psychological horror flick directed by Steven Shainberg (who also helmed the 2002 cult classic 'SECRETARY') and written by Shainberg and Brian Nelson (who also wrote the 2005 cult classic 'HARD CANDY'). It stars Noomi Rapace as a single mother that's abducted by a mysterious organization, and then subjected to severe fear-inducing torture as part of some secret experiment. The film also costars Michael Chiklis, Peter Stormare and Kerry Bishe. It hasn't been well received by most viewers, or critics that have seen it, but I enjoyed it.

Renee (Rapace) is a single mother struggling to deal with an abusive ex, who's also her son's father. After dropping the boy off at his dad's for the weekend, Renee is abducted (on the road after blowing a tire) by a secret organization. She's then taken to an unknown location, where she's injected with chemicals and subjected to torturous fear-inducing experiments. Renee encounters multiple other people being held there, who are also being subjected to the same horrendous experiments. When she's left alone, Renee breaks free of her bondage, and then begins sneaking around the location in an attempt to figure out what's really going on.

The movie definitely has a cheesy B-horror movie feel to it, but I like that feel in films (if it's done well). This movie is really creepy, and effectively nightmarish to a certain extent. I always have to give those things credit. Rapace gives it her all in the lead (like always), and the supporting actors seem to be having a lot of fun with their creepy roles. It's definitely not an especially well made (or well written) movie, but it is fun and entertaining (in my opinion at least). If you like creepy bad B-horror flicks, I think you'll probably get a kick out of it (like I did).
