Why I don't like it

Rating: 4/10 (25 February 2006)

Normally, I would rate any memorable movie, even if I did not like it, or certain parts or acting, a 6 or 7 at least.
The reason I rate this so low is for the gratuitous violence. Mad Magazine did a dead-on satire of this movie two decades ago. The violence is repulsive and over the top. It's putrid. The rape scene, and the constant batteries and assaults are too much.
Most unusual is some of the dialog between the gang members, which uses a made-up slang.
That being said, I loved the acting and the score. The plot is basically relevant to modern times. The set design and live action scenery is excellent.
Everyone should see this, but hold your hand on the fast-forward, which is used on one sex scene anyway, very humorously.
