Not a film a woman would stomach

Rating: Null/10 (20 August 2003)

Forgive me for sounding sexist. But- there are guy films, and there are girl films. The best films are those that appeal to both sexes, on at least a couple of levels. I enjoy a good drama, maybe a little violence here and there, and a little bit of blood-letting is OK. But I'm not here to dissect the directing, acting, Cameron Diaz's weight, or how wooden Leonaro's acting was.
I'm just here to say- this film is the most violent, long, drawn-out example of carnage I've ever seen. I'm sure there is a good story in there someplace, but I was gagging so bad I must have missed it. Or maybe, I didn't stay with the film long enough to find out. After about 45 minutes in, I didn't care anymore, and hit the eject button. I had seen all the blood, slashing, dirty clothes, ugly people I could stand. There was no snacking during this movie. So-- if any of you females are reading this, be warned. NOT GOOD. If a date takes you to see this one, watch your back. I'm thinking of asking Blockbuster for a refund.
