'Two' is like a crossover between 'Saw' and 'The Human Centipede' with a dash of the 'The Number 23' for good measure. If you sold a movie to me on that premise alone I'd be pretty excited for it. The problem with 'Two' is that it never gives itself a chance. At only 70 minutes in runtime there simply isn't enough time for it to do anything special or memorable.
The first two thirds of the film are actually pretty interesting. There's the mystery element where we are wondering why this has been done to these two people. There's the unique and uncomfortable element of the disturbing thing that has been done to these people. And then there's the character dynamic where they are having to deal with this horrible situation they find themselves in. The set-up in this movie is actually very good.
For some reason though, once we get some answers, the film becomes in a huge rush to roll the credits. I don't know why. Most films are doing everything they can to stretch themselves out to at least the 90 minute mark. The end result is a very unsatisfying conclusion. There was potential in this one but sadly it will end up a missed opportunity. 6/10.
