The child in the curtailed rape scene that opens the picture matures into the woman with the Moe Howard haircut (Claire Foy), a torture artist whose idea of revenge amounts to little more than sticking out a hand and demanding that her aggressors “Pick two!” A few moments of tense action — a motorcycle getaway on thin ice had me going — are done in by wanton coincidence and/or dunderheaded character motivation: would the young boy — who just moments before witnessed his father’s murder — have the wherewithal to tell his abductor which of the cars in the parking garage would make the coolest getaway vehicle? It would probably be more fun to watch were the entire premise not predicated on incest and child abuse. Spoiler alert: for a picture ostensibly about female empowerment, why is the day saved by the equivalent of a fat guy seated before a computer in his mom’s basement? Fede Alvarez (Evil Dead, Don’t Breathe) directs. (2018) — Scott Marks
