If you can put aside the utterly ridiculous plot foundation (a guy tricks his friend into standing on a landmine in Georgia as revenge for having sex with his fiance) you'll find a revenge movie with a new twist: It's extremely hard to sympathize with the guy seeking revenge because he's just as much, if not more of a psychopath than the antagonist.
The casual, relaxed glee with which he enacts his vengeance on the murderer's innocent wife and daughter is disturbing to behold, until he goes too far and is left mindblown.
Definite shades of "Funny Games" in that you might not feel entertained, but you will feel like you went through a significant emotional experience.
