Big Bad Wolves (2013)


"Best film of the year-Quentin Tarantino" screams the movie poster, well not quite in my opinion but one well worth sniffing out.

 A series of brutal child abductions result in a Father out for revenge and a Cop operating above the legal system kidnap and torture a man they believe responsible.

It's an Israeli 'Hostel' style revenge flick but as well as lashings of brutality, it's punctuated with a dark, neigh, thick black humorous vein, with witty mean dialogue and good leads from the relatively unknown cast and a suitably mean denouement.
