Savage (2009) (NR)

synopsis

"Savage" is a stark representation of Ireland's underbelly and it follows the story of Paul, who after becoming the victim of a humiliating and brutal street attack descends into a disturbed cycle of paranoia and violence, building to a bloody, shocking and vengeful conclusion. A fresh take on a revenge thriller, "Savage" explores the dark subject of the psychological damage of violence. Menacing and socially poignant, "Savage" is as disturbing as it is thought provoking, and it's brutal climax is definitely not for the feint-hearted.
