IMDB if you haven't heard of it.

To get right to the point, the heavily cut version that was released this Friday is not very good.

Based on the previews, this movie should have been awesome. Being only 90 minutes long, it takes about 40 minutes before the torturing even starts, and there's probably less than 10 minutes of scenes that make a squeamish person be disgusted. Though, they make the beginning worthwhile with plenty of breasts for your viewing pleasure.

I went to this movie expecting to see some gnarly deaths and torture, what I got was someone about to get their toe cut off and then a scene change before it happens (it was like that for every gross part save one or two).
It got good reviews from the people who screened the uncut version back around September, and I wish they kept it that way. Acting wasn't bad, plot wasn't bad, setting was good, cuts sucked.
The only good deaths were more hilarious than gross, which is the only thing that stopped me from saying that this movie sucked (and the boobs!).

Thsi movie had potential to make people leave the theater, and I wish it lived up to it. If you want to see a good gory movie, don't pay the $7-10 to see this in the theaters; go rent Audition and wait until this movie is on DVD before seeing it.

6/10

I'm really not digging the "Quentin Tarantino Presents" thing(just like Hero, he liked the movie, and struck a deal with whoever realeased it here not to cut out some scenes in return for supporting it). Sure, you can be like Roger Ebert and promote Hoop Dreams, but he shouldn't tag his seal of approval on every foreign movie he likes. And this version is cut.

It was basically softcore porn. I can get that for free on the intrawebz.

Along with all the boobs was a bit of humer. As he mentioned with the humerous death, there are a few scenes involving a gang of kids. And it's serious business..

Looked up some facts for this movie and they used over 150 US Gallons of fake blood. thats alot.. though they could have kicked the gore up a bit.

I watched the Unrated movie on DVD. This movie made me so scared to go to foreign countries. *spoiler alert* I totally laughed when the chick jumps in front of the train. Does that make me heartless? *end spoiler* The Kids were brutal. There's this whole "Kill the Car" featurette on the DVD where you get to watch the little Kids tear the car apart, from multiple angles that YOU control. It's awesome and kind of addictive.

Worst movie of last year.

The first three fourths of the movie is just an excuse to show random tits, and the gore at the end is not even shocking. The only thing that made me cringe was the achilles tendon slicing, ouch. I watched the uncut version last week after seeing it in theaters whenever it was released, and it didn't rectify ****.
