Who "Scarred" Who?

The first time when the viewer sees this film, they may freak out, butthey will be driven to see it again guaranteed. Scarred, directed byDamien Rea, is about this guy called Rafi who despite being anattractive guy has a scar on one side of his face. How he got the scaris carefully shown through flashbacks. Trying to forge a relationshipor even a date proves difficult for him, as it attracts the wrong sortof attention. He helps a friend out, by letting her use his face as herproject. This gets noticed by an admirer and his friend persuades himto take a chance, which may end up changing his life forever. Theviewer is drawn to believe a certain line of thinking throughout thefilm until the end when the gritty flashbacks reveal how Rafi got thisscar in the first place. It leaves the viewer questioning who exactlyis the victim. All the cast produce great performances and it's a shamethere's not a sequel, because the plot is fantastic.
