It's hard to think of a film with a more unpalatable premise: in the war-torn Balkans, a group of women are kidnapped are forced to work in a brothel by the notorious warlord Goran. Thus for the first hour the viewer is forced to endure endless rape and misogyny directed at the screaming female cast members, and it's all very unedifying and sleazy. I hate watching this sort of stuff and was tempted to fast forward on more than one occasion.
Eventually, the storyline twists into a revenge style set up, and it starts getting gory. Very gory. The explicit special effects turn out to be rather excellent in terms of their realism, and there's some undeniable satisfaction that comes from seeing the bad guys getting their comeuppance. However, the filmmaking is competent rather than good, and aside from the reliable Sean Pertwee as the villain of the piece, none of the performances really stand out. And there's way too much misogyny for it to be the kind of film you'd want to sit through again.
