Terrible beginning. Good Acting. Good Story Idea. But Badly Put Together.

Rating: 5/10 (2 August 2006)

Kinda like a Scanner Darkly. It could have been amazing but it just didn't work out. Unlike Saw. Saw took a good idea and turned it into a great movie.
And this movie had the most misleading trailers I have ever seen. "Hostel- The Scariest Movie of the Decade!" was actually written on the the DVD. This movie was not at all scary. Couldn't they have said Goriest or Grossest or Bloodiest film since thirty days ago when they came out with Saw 2. I thought the movie was about some *bleeped* up people who kidnap a bunch of dudes and *bleep* with their minds and kill them in *bleeped* up ways. I thought it was going to be another Saw. The beginning of the movie was the dumbest first hour of a movie I have ever seen. The beginning was absolutely pointless With all that said, the acting was very good. Jay Hernandez is a damn good actor (Friday Night Lights, World Trade Center.) and the movie redeemed itself after the the beginning. But after he escaped from the place, the movie actually turned into something worth watching (Although the only reason he escaped was cause the guy trying to kill him slipped and cut his leg off... can u say retarded).
That was amazing when he rammed the people that set him up and then came back and ran over that chick. It was hilarious.
Terrible beginning. Good Acting. Good
