The weak link of this otherwise pretty good movie is Ryan Phillipe
His character is kidnapped and being held captive, and during that captivity, he is the victim of torture, and while we're shown some pretty damned convincing torture during this movie, Mr. Phillipe is totally unconvincing as the victim of this torture.
The crew that is doing this torture are absolutely great- they are actually good actors, and their actions reflect the complexity of their roles and their corresponding abilities as actors. On the other hand, watching Ryan Phillipe in this is like watching Rob Schneider attempting drama, and that would definitely not be for the faint of heart.
