Negative Positive
Title: tortuous but recommended
Review: The whole movie is a tortuous experience just like the storyline then the last two minutes brightens visually and the mood does a complete turnaround just like the Korean's face. Tortuous includes Mark Wahlberg's trademark menacing and guilty face, Thandie Newton's unsmiling face with overplucked eyebrows, Paris looking dirty, rundown and exhausting, the camera moving in too close and the background looking too crowded. We, the audience, are intentionally made to suffer along with the plot.
