I wanted to love this movie but the script (and specially Ed Skrein's character) is so flawed that I just couldn't.
During the first half of the movie, he is shown meticulously arranging his torture tools, in the next scene, we see Julia steals one of them, and we are left to believe he just didn't notice?. Then while he's gone and mayhem ensues, he finds out about this only upon returning to his house? I mean the guy is literally kidnapping people and torturing them, and we're supposed to believe that he wouldn't program TAU to let him know if something weird happens, let alone if there is a freaking explosion?
And as if THAT was not enough, he then proceeds to let this girl that almost destroyed his whole house to just live in there, he buys her clothes and feeds her like some kind of futuristic Belle and the Beast and casually mentions to her that the IA controlling the house sometimes "reacts erratically"...
Anyway, the acting is fine, the visuals are beautiful, I love the genre and think the idea could have been great but the script is just not up to the task.
