Fabrice Du Welz is a director to watch, so far he's three for three. In this magnificent revenge-action-thriller flick Jacob King, a South African man living in Cape Town, flies to LA to help his sister Bianca after receiving her frantic phone call for help. She has something "they" want. When he arrives at her apartment she has disappeared. No one wants to help, but he does receive a disturbing message to look for his beloved sister in the morgue. This movie is a brutal tale. King dispenses as much pain as he must to learn his sister's story, but the pain that shows through the brother's eyes is akin to horror.
