The Tortured is a 2010 thriller film that revolves around the life of a couple named Elise and Craig Landry, who are left shattered and broken after their 6-year-old son is abducted and murdered. The movie is directed by Robert Lieberman and stars Erika Christensen, Jesse Metcalfe, and Bill Lippincott in prominent roles. As the movie begins, we see Elise and Craig as a happy couple, enjoying their life with their son until he is snatched away from their yard. The kidnapper, who is soon caught and brought to trial, receives a measly 25-year sentence, which the couple deems insufficient for the heinous crime committed.

In an attempt to seek revenge and find closure, the couple kidnaps the perpetrator and begins to torture him in an abandoned warehouse. As the movie progresses, we see the couple unravel and descend into madness as they struggle with the weight of their revenge and the consequences of their actions.

The movie is a harrowing portrayal of the aftermath of a violent crime and its impact on the victim's family. The characters' emotions are raw and real, and the performances by the actors are commendable.

Erika Christensen delivers a compelling performance as Elise, the grieving mother, who is consumed by her trauma and finds solace in torturing the perpetrator. Jesse Metcalfe's portrayal of Craig is equally impressive, as his character struggles with anger, grief, and guilt.

The Tortured's cinematography and sound design are well thought out, providing a sense of unease and tension throughout the film. The abandoned warehouse where Elise and Craig take the perpetrator is a dismal and grimy setting that adds to the intensity of the film.

Although the movie delves into dark themes and subjects matter that some may find uncomfortable, it still manages to deliver a powerful message about the dangers of revenge and the importance of letting go. The film's conclusion offers a glimmer of hope and closure, albeit a bittersweet one.

In conclusion, The Tortured is a movie that is not for everyone. Its portrayal of graphic violence and torture may be unsettling to some viewers. However, for those who can stomach it, the movie offers a gripping and at times disturbing portrayal of the aftermath of a heinous crime. The performances by the actors are top-notch, the cinematography and sound design are on point, and the message of the movie is a powerful one. If you're in the mood for a thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat, The Tortured is worth checking out.

The Tortured is a 2010 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 22 minutes. It has received poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.4 and a MetaScore of 9.
