There is something horribly wrong with the bodies found in the dark city streets. Some are mutilated while others have the Price equation (wΔz = Cov (w,z) = βwzVz) carved into their flesh. Detective Eddie Argo and his new partner Helen Westcott unearth the meaning of the odd equation and realise each victim is being offered a gruesome choice: kill your loved ones, or be killed. Before long it becomes clear that the perpetrator has suffered a similar fate and is now coping by seeking a way to solve this philosophical dilemma.

A series of deaths have started occurring in New York; Some are being found mutilated while others have an equation wÎ"z = Cov (w,z) = ÃwzVz carved onto their skin. As police investigate they discover each victim was forced to choose between sacrificing their own life or a loved ones' life. W Delta Z tries to be somekind of Saw rip-off and it's really not a very good one, the big names such as Stellan Skarsgård, Melissa George and Tom Hardy can't save the film from begin a huge waste of time but also just a very bland copy of others films like Saw which i mentioned and even Hostel. Definitely a film that was a bit interesting but just lost it as it went on and on. (3/10)

I'll probably forget this movie in a day or two. The story was a bit incoherent. Things just happened for violence and gore's sake and, as the viewer, you simply had to accept them. It's hard to make out where this flick was headed, and even after over an hour into it, still didn't know what the story was basically about.Technically, this film should have been an outright bust. There were, however, good points about it. The editing was solid and kinetic in spots. The violence, although gratuitous, was well done. The motives of the different characters didn't make much sense. That whole business about W Delta Z didn't make much sense, either. I thought the ending was a let down. Still, what kept the film afloat was the actors. All of them hit the nail on the head, so to speak. Even though i give this movie a 6 rating, I was leaning towards a 5.5. The movie wasn't that bad, but then, it's not all that good, either. Your mileage may vary.

Weary veteran detective Eddie Argo (a fine performance by Stellan Skarsgard) and his eager rookie partner Helen Westcott (ably played by Melissa George) investigate a series of vicious murders in which the victims are forced to decide to choose between sacrificing their own lives or taking the life of a loved one.Director Tom Shankland keeps the absorbing story moving at a steady pace, maintains an unflinchingly dark and grim tone throughout, makes nice use of grimy urban locations, builds plenty of tension, and develops a strong harsh atmosphere that drips with dread, filth, and moral decay. Clive Bradley's compact and intelligent script not only comes through with a genuine doozy of a surprise final twist, but also makes a potent and provocative central point about how far one is willing to go for the sake of someone that they love. The sound acting by the sturdy cast helps a whole lot: Ashley Walters as antsy and spineless snitch Daniel Leone, Selma Blair as bitter and vengeful rape victim Jean Lerner, Tom Hardy as vile and belligerent hoodlum Pierre Jackson, Paul Kaye as soft-spoken nut Dr. Gelb, John Sharian as browbeating lout Jack Corelli, and Sally Hawkins as pathetic junkie whore Elly Carpenter. The startling moments of ugly and savage violence pack a ferocious punch. Morten Soberg's restless hand-held cinematography provides a super-kinetic buzz. David Julyan's brooding score does the moody trick. Well worth a watch.

If you don't know who is the dearest person in your life yet and there are probably many but you can't just put your finger on who is the best loved and just the dearest to your heart. This movie will make you know.This movie is intellectual and one of the very few good psycho-horrors. And so strange that I watched this movie The Killing Gene and The Killing Room the same day and loved them both so much but not equally because I preferred the Killing Room more.It's only necessary to say that this kind of movies (Psycho-horror/thriller) is by far the best genre. I like all types no doubt and I have seen billions of movies but this type is just on top of the list because it takes you to the dark worlds of the human mind and the issues of survival.The plot was good and so is everything else in the movie. By the way I easily guessed whom the lead character really loved but didn't guess the kind of love! Watch it and you'll know what I mean.
