Both women are excellent, and they, as much as the movie's whodunit elements, hold the viewer until the finish.
Torn approaches its incendiary topical issues with intelligent modesty.
Made for less than $500,000, Torn is proof that a little can go a long way. In fact, the microscale perfectly lends itself to the story's quiet revelations.
Though Torn contains its share of convincingly lived-in moments, there's a heavy-handed quality to both Jeremiah Birnbaum's direction and the script by Michael Richter that often undermines the movie's potential to truly grip and move.
Torn’s sometimes-stodgy dramatics give way to a genuinely unsettling microcosm of modern terrorism.
As a piece of filmmaking, Torn is slightly above TV-movie quality.
Performances and presentation are solid enough, but the pic feels a bit undernourished, particularly once it closes on a note that’s well intentioned but provides no real resolution.
