This movie could be really good, but it was just too long for the message it was delivering. What that message was? I have to get into details here, that's why I put the spoiler tag up there, so this is for the people who've already watched the movie but didn't understand it!!
If you don't know what the word allegory means, here a short explanation from the internet:
"Allegory is a form of extended metaphor, in which objects, persons, and actions in a narrative, are equated with the meanings that lie outside the narrative itself. The underlying meaning has moral, social, religious, or political significance, and characters are often personifications of abstract ideas as charity, greed, or envy. Thus an allegory is a story with two meanings, a literal meaning and a symbolic meaning."
Now if you watch the movie again, you might understand that this man is trapped ... inside his mind. The two kidnapper represent two sides of himself and so forth. Overall I like where this is going or better were this went, but it's just too damn long. A short movie/film would've done the job, we don't need ten sequences where a man is circling in a hole ... Shame then for the very good (excellent) idea!
