All in all, the effect is like Guy Ritchie has remade Michael Haneke's Funny Games after huffing old copies of the Socialist Worker.

Joe Martin is clearly a filmmaker to watch who might have worn his influences on his sleeve in this film, but he has proven he is a stylish filmmaker with a lot to say.
