Reviews
Okay rape-revenge thriller has a fine performance from Christina Lindberg even though she has zero lines and there are scenes tough to watch. The revenge portion is the best part however the slow-motion fight between Madeliene and the cops went on far too long. The final scene was satisfying though. **3.5/5**
