No pun intended - I think that is what it is called. This was supposed to play in cinemas too. At least in Germany, but did not in the city I live in. Which is kind of a shame, but maybe for the better considering the theme/story this has. I knew it would be a bit ... racy, but nudity and location aside, it never is giving you the option to ... have a highlight (or more for that matter).

That all being said, the very good looking lead has an agenda. And we learn about it quite early on. She tells us about it and it seems to make sense. As much sense as it can make for a character like hers to hire to be ... well paid for "services".

The movie does have a few cliches, but on the other hand, they would not be that, if they didn't actually happen ... it is tough when it gets rough (not consensual) or even when the psychological war(fare) is on ... but the movie is also trying to paint a picture of unity ... if many have the same ... let's call it fate, they will stick together, they will try to overcome (not that one) stuff as a group ... and that is what being human is ultimately about ... if the message is worth it ... well I think it is but maybe you do not feel that watching the whole movie is ...
