“The producers of the Saw franchise” have yet to deliver anything good besides the original Saw movie (Dead Silence anyone), and even that had a lot more to do with luck than anything else. So hopefully for their sake The Tortured delivers, because if not, slapping “from the producers of Saw” on a movie to help sell it, is going to start becoming unproductive.

Taken from today’s news headlines (and Law & Order’s tagline), The Tortured is about a young mother (Erika Christensen – Traffic, Flight Plan) and her husband (Jesse Metcalf – Desperate Housewives, Beyond a Reasonable Doubt) who decide that the criminal justice system hasn’t adequately punished the man who kidnapped their son.

They formulate a diabolical plan to exact their own revenge, and slowly realize that the best way to relieve their pain is to inflict some. How far will they go before “justice is served…?”
