    Sadistic!Rickman porn brought to you by Amnesty International!

    Really brilliant, but by no means a fun or a light film to watch because of some of the scenes (not because of what it shown, but what it left unshown) and the underlying message.

    Some interesting mind games between Rickman and Stowe with some actual interrogation/torture techniques make this intriguing.

    I cannot find this film on region one DVD. If you know where I can get it, pop me a message please.

    Disturbing....but Alan Rickman had an amazing sensual role, even though he did play a very bad guy. Props to Madeleine Stowe as well, excellent acting! I love thescene where Alan's character was eating the tomato lol, so hot

    A very strange movie staring Alan Rickman and Madeleine Stowe. Both of which work well together. I love this film, but many others hated it. It is very warped, and not for those who dont like a sick twisted ending.

    When Alan Rickman makes up half the cast, it has to be good!

    Very insightful film. The acting was amazing. Too bad it's pretty hard to find.
