people told me a lot about this film, so i was warned that i am getting myself into some kind of weird hardcore-horror/softcore-porn flick. there were some really disgusting scenes and the terror of the victims at times really gets to you. i must say though that i am mainly unimpressed. the movie is pushing some buttons (some reviews said the event in this film inevitably reminds you of what went on abu ghraib) what ruins it is the fact that the film just lacks any intellectual depth so it feels strange that people will make movies like that just for entertainment. there are also some pretty violent scenes of revenge so i suggest any affiliation of this to politics or some serious effort to criticize some things that are going wrong in this world can be condemned as unbelievable. i was irritated overall with the way people in general are portrayed in this movie. so eli roth thinks that everyone out there is obsessed with sex and violence? i disagree. all in all not terrible but definitely not a must see
