Former Hollywood star Reagan Pearce is kidnapped by two men connected to his past while on location in Louisiana. When he wakes up bound and chained in a rundown shack, he soon discovers the real motives of his captors and finds himself in the middle of a twisted scheme with little chance to survive. With no rescue in sight, Reagan must use every ounce of strength he has left to break free and get his revenge.
Acting
Phillippe fully commits to suffering; genuinely uncomfortable to watch.
Direction
First-time director casts himself in torture porn. Bold or delusional?

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Phillippe wrote, directed, and starred in this during a career lull—essentially betting his own money on his own suffering.
The 'gay theme' keywords are misleading—it's more about homophobic violence than queer narrative, which sparked some criticism at release.
