Perhaps the worst movie I have ever seen

Rating: 2/10 (10 July 2012)

This is an unusual movie in that I instantly detested all the protagonists. It is hard to enjoy a movie when you don't care what happens to the protagonists. I would have been happy to have a church fall on all of them.
I hated Rae (Christina Ricci) from the first seconds and never warmed to her. She was so full of herself, and so selfish. She blocked traffic just for the sheer hell of it. She dressed like a rape victim then viciously verbally slashed any male than noticed. She smoked and drank incessantly. She slouched her way through life in a screw-you pose. She was a slut. That rarely bothers me in a character, but she just rubs your nose in her trashiness. She was literally a nymphomaniac who pounced anyone with no discrimination. She is quite disgusting, like some animal of another species with a yen for human coupling. You are supposed to excuse her behaviour because she was molested as a child. I know lots of women who were molested, but none behaved anything like Rae.
Lazarus (Samuel L. Jackson) was a religious nut who kidnapped and a chained woman. He lived out a sort of heavy duty Taming of the Shrew fantasy.
Ronnie (Justin Timberlake) left his girlfriend to kill people in the army. He expected his slut of a girlfriend to be true to him, and was crazy jealous and violent.
The preacher pounded out treacle and ignored the fact his friend Rae chained up in his kitchen.
Even the 15 year old virgin who Rae pounced was such a stupid twit he did not report Rae being chained up.
Other extremely unlikeable people included Rae's mother, Ronnie's best friend and Lazarus's friend who bates Ronnie for returning early from the army.
About the only person in the movie close to pleasant is the pharmacist with a bit part.
Rae spends most of the movie in her panties with her boobs falling out, often pretending to be masturbating or at least in heat (a phrase from the movie). She is chained and beaten repeatedly. This is soft S&M porn, that tries to redeem itself with some Christian glob piled on top.
About the only good thing I could say about the movie is Samuel L Jackson sings quite a few times, and does a creditable job, especially the bar scene. That scene with dancers is roaring fun romp.
