An Assault to the Senses! Disturbing Film!

Rating: 1/10 (29 October 2012)

When I first saw synopsis of this film, I thought it was going to be a philosophical, somewhat spiritual + thought provoking film, boy was in for a nightmare when I went to see it! Yes there was one philosophical point made in the entire almost 3 hour film, but in the process your senses were bombarded to every violent, every disgusting, every primal instinct that has ever existed! The producers of the film loved to use shocking and fearful images to bring about whatever they were trying to convey! I am not as desensitized as many others, + I found the film to be repulsive, disgusting and an assault to my senses! I felt nauseous + had a headache after the movie.My husband and I wanted to walk out of the movie half way! We did enjoy the other Wachowski film "the Matrix", + thought this film would be of similar caliber, but we were sadly mistaken. I was surprised that the audience found the gore and blood amusing! DON'T WATCH IT! if you want your mind to not be disturbed. It's really too bad because the film has a stellar cast, but don't let that fool you into watching the film!
