Nothing like Rabies. Shame...

Literally what I call a waste of time. Every character was really dislikeable except the tortured guy. The story didnt developed well enough it got stuck in the same conversations and questions without going anywhere, thanks to that it lacks of tension, intensity and intrigue, which are factors a thriller should have and the comedy in it didnt fit to me. It was really an empty movie with a lot of potential but fell down really down. A movie with a good plot that could have been developed in so many good ways, but didnt even develop in any way.The dialogue was repetitive and yawning, its a shame cause Rabies was so good, original and actually a developed story. Why the hype? I have no clue all I know is that this film didnt had any point to me and was empty. Maybe the filmakers were trying to made a random comedy/thriller and didnt focus on its story and neither in the thriller part. The acting was decent though and the movie started quite well, but thats the only positive thing about this in my uopinion. 2.5/10. Theres really no point.

And very overrated, but why? I've never seen such a film that could have been a top notch, tense thriller, where all the ingredients were there, but the story/script bogged it down to a point where it failed on almost all levels.

I wanted to really like this, but I honestly can't find a single solitary area to give praise too. The cycle of repetition starts from the first scene and it repeats itself until the final seconds, all with NOTHING achieved.

It seems the makers had no idea what they wanted this film to be and I'd be interested in what they had to say in terms of what exactly they were trying to accomplish here because I have no idea.

Since the rating now sits at around 7.3/10 I'm curious as to what all of these users loved so much about this film. It reminded me a hackneyed(Israel made) episode of Hannibal.
