This thriller cuts right to the chase. Two men are locked and chained in a basement and their abductor blackmails one of them to kill the other, otherwise his family will be slayed. These haunting first moments eventually lead to nothing of interest. Who is the bad guy and why is he doing this to these particular men? Don't expect answers, or credibility for that matter. The only thing we learn in the end is that there's definitely going to be a sequel. So far there have been six.
