First, let me state wholeheartedly and somewhat ironically that "Bane" is a preposterous film. I give it two strong stars because it did keep me entertained. On occasion I watch "blood-gore" horror/thriller flicks, but truthfully I am no fan of them. Four women wake up in a cell with no memory of who they are or of their past. They seem to be some sort of laboratory rats. We have the usual, the tough narrow-minded gal, the cry baby, the one who's just there for the hell of it, and the more stable, reasonable one. Their acting is bellow par. But who cares. All we want to see is four defensive good-looking chicks get their pretty bodies all cut up so we can here the screams. The scientist, a Dr. Murdoch, is fun to watch. He has a presence on the screen and you can't help but think that his deviousness has a logical purpose. In this lies the rub. The women are put through torturous ordeals but we or them are not given any reason why. The director slowly builds the tension. Does a good job at it too. He very cleverly uses the whole low-budget B-movie thing to his advantage. Some of my friends thought that the settings were cheap and poorly designed. I disagree. I thought it added to the style. At any rate, when the film finally unfolds in the last 15 minutes, our quest is alas fulfilled. Now we know why these women were there in the first place. Plainly, the reason is a silly one. So, where's the beef! There isn't any. If you set aside all logic and accept the conclusion, the film did its job. One last note: the music is by Ronnie Doyle. It's well composed.
