Whatever you do, do not read the book before you watch the movie. You spend the entire film (if you can finish it) asking rhetorically and angrily: "Why did they take a story that works and turn it into a story that doesn't work?" This movie is a behind-the-dumpster, coat-hangar abortion.
An understated slow burn. As tense as a horror film. Psychological. Lots of pregnant silences. You see stories about the rich destroying themselves and others. You see stories about the others getting destroyed. But what if you're in that scene, neither the predator nor the prey, effected by the results, and have no control over what's happening. This film made me feel uncomfortable and helpless. Marvelous. The costumes and sets are gorgeous too. Ilsa Salas is stunning.
This is an exquisite blend of theater and television. It combines the forms superbly.
