Very disappointing...
Pretty Good
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
A woman is abducted by some people who tell her she is special and are going to "change her" to make her perfect.This is a well acted, well shot, fairly well produced mid budget movie. Sometimes the sets look a bit over-lit and the few bits of CGI look cheap and nasty but overall the film is of a high standard.The main character is very good and has a lot to shoulder. She does spend the majority of the film trussed up in one way or another looking petrified. This is not done in a way that makes it graphic, gory or titillating.The only problem here is that the story doesn't have an awful lot to say but takes its merry time saying it.Now, if you can get into this movie I think you will find it tense and enjoyable. I found I lost my patience a bit, I was gripped enough to want to see it through but my finger was hovering over the fast forward.It appears I have a limit to the amount of time I am prepared to watch someone tied to a table and preached at.The ingredients are here for something pretty good but be prepared to put the work in yourself.
( MILD SPOILER ALERT)I wasn't sure what to expect, i mean all the 3 and 4 star ratings made me think twice. I skipped this one a countless amount of times,this time I pressed play. As soon as it started i was skeptical and wasn't sure where it was going.within 20 minutes i was on one cheek for the rest of the movie. I enjoy anything to with secret societies i just couldn't wait to see what happens next. I mean you hear about all types of crazy stories about these people people joining the illuminati who says this isn't how its done or what its really about. This movie should be recognized, this was one of the best secret society movies i have ever seen. So if your into conspiracy type movies this is for you, you definitely wont be disappointed.
would have given it 10, but it is a B film & 10 for me means best I have ever seen this is about as good a horror film as I have seen, with the horror being torture for religious/political purposes, something already repugnant Noomi Rapace deserved an Oscar for her brilliant work as the torture subject & the story line with her as a struggling single Mom was brilliant the direction was tight as were the production values, though I think the transformation that gave its title a tad crude ...those who may abhor any torturing of women, may find comfort (¿if that is the right word?)in the male being held near her cell, whose travails teach her about her dreadful circumstances & seem even more dreadful than hers, though that may be only my perspective & cold comfort, particularly as his travails proved pointless I much prefer my sci/fi more scientifically sound, such as in the brilliant and more hopeful I Origins, which deserves a 10, IMHO that said Rupture is compelling and ultimately positive, albeit with a classically ambivalent coda if I can stomach a second viewing, I may revise my vote, likely up well worth a peak for folks who like viscerally immersive experiences in their horror flicks
'RUPTURE': Three and a Half Stars (Out of Five) A psychological horror flick directed by Steven Shainberg (who also helmed the 2002 cult classic 'SECRETARY') and written by Shainberg and Brian Nelson (who also wrote the 2005 cult classic 'HARD CANDY'). It stars Noomi Rapace as a single mother that's abducted by a mysterious organization, and then subjected to severe fear-inducing torture as part of some secret experiment. The film also costars Michael Chiklis, Peter Stormare and Kerry Bishe. It hasn't been well received by most viewers, or critics that have seen it, but I enjoyed it.Renee (Rapace) is a single mother struggling to deal with an abusive ex, who's also her son's father. After dropping the boy off at his dad's for the weekend, Renee is abducted (on the road after blowing a tire) by a secret organization. She's then taken to an unknown location, where she's injected with chemicals and subjected to torturous fear-inducing experiments. Renee encounters multiple other people being held there, who are also being subjected to the same horrendous experiments. When she's left alone, Renee breaks free of her bondage, and then begins sneaking around the location in an attempt to figure out what's really going on.The movie definitely has a cheesy B-horror movie feel to it, but I like that feel in films (if it's done well). This movie is really creepy, and effectively nightmarish to a certain extent. I always have to give those things credit. Rapace gives it her all in the lead (like always), and the supporting actors seem to be having a lot of fun with their creepy roles. It's definitely not an especially well made (or well written) movie, but it is fun and entertaining (in my opinion at least). If you like creepy bad B-horror flicks, I think you'll probably get a kick out of it (like I did).Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: https://youtu.be/K3Maw4akm_o
