*Spoiler alert ! If you haven't seen the movie and wish to experience it without knowing the ending, avoid this entry.*
In this violent Oliver Stone action film, Blake Lively plays O (short for Ophelia), the shared girlfriend of two marijuana growers who is kidnapped by their boss's thugs after the boys decide they want to quit working for them. An internet video shows O bound to a heavy wooden chair, slapped, beaten, threatened with surgical blades and an ax to her throat, unless the guys comply and deliver a huge shipment of pot within 5 hours, starting immediately. O is seen barefoot, chained by one ankle to a chair in a white cotton sun frock during her captivity inside a metal shipping container. Spying the video cameras watching everything, she appeals to the boss for better, cleaner quarters to be kept in and later she's extracted, handcuffed, blindfolded, loaded into a horse trailer and taken to the boss's mansion. After some questioning, she's escorted to the guesthouse and once more secured to a chair with a chain around one ankle.
Meanwhile, the guys have located the boss's daughter Magda (played by Sandra Echeverria), they break into her apartment, bind and gag her with duct tape, put her in a garment bag and kidnap her. They send a video back to the boss, featuring the girl bound and gagged inside a metal case and demand an even exchange of O for Sophia as well as a permanent parting of ways at a place they designate. At a desert location, the hostages are driven to meet their fate and in the hills, two sniper teams arranged by both the good guys and the bad guys await the order to fire....
