O_O <--- my face while watching this.

This movie, when you get past the bdsm/ torture aspect is so good... like it totally caught me off guard. The first half I was like ok, this is gonna be nothing but pure smut- and I was ok with that; nothing wrong with a little smut every now and then. But then we get past that and delve more into the characters and why things are happening and the whole bdsm aspect that had me shooketh at the start just becomes a nice layer that was needed for this story-telling.
The story of a hurt people helping each other is nothing new but the way it's told in this movie is. While watching I had no idea where the story was headed. Because of what this movie entails, had no no expectations for it but by the end I was completely shocked and wow-ed. It had me very emotional which was so unexpected.
The cast consists of two men who I have no previous exposure to but their performances/ delivery was great especially considering the subject matter they had to portray- A1.
I highly recommend this but seriously this movie is very graphic and for mature audiences only. It's rated 18+ for a reason so if you know you can't handle it then take a pass. If this is your kind of thing then by all means go for it, I don't think you'll regret it.
