'Rupture' vs. 'Casino Royale'

The torture scene in 'Casino Royale' has a lot of similarities with our opening sequence. They both involved a battered man sitting, tied up on a chair in the middle of a dark (possible underground) room with dripping water. Both sequences show the torturer carrying a weapon which they are going to farm the man sitting in the chair with. The torturer is free to move however they want, circling the chair in both films and get really close to the man in the chair as they know there's nothing they can do. It is also obvious that in both sequences, the torturer is throughly enjoying themselves. In both sequences, the man in the chair is screaming.

However, in 'Rupture' the torturer is a young woman whereas in 'Casino Royale' this role is played by a man. In 'Rupture' the man in the chair is battered but still fully clothed but in 'Casino Royale' he is topless. In 'Rupture' the man is moaning whereas in 'Casino Royale' the man is screaming in pain. the torture in 'Rupture' is down to revenge but in 'Casino Royale' , it all comes down to money.
