no plot, no problem

Rating: 2/10 (8 January 2006)

I have high expectations for any film that has Tarantino's name on it as all of his films that I had seen previous to this one were very good. However, he did not write or direct this film, he was simply the producer and it is this fact that I will pardon him from this train wreck of a movie.
I can see how the hedonistic nature of the protagonists comes back to haunt them, but it is a weak irony at best. This movie was grotesque for the sake of being grotesque. I cannot recall the last time where I was more disappointed in a movie that I paid money to see. $6 was not worth the torment that was watching this movie. I know that the horrible nature of the film is a point in itself, but I believe that the film makers forgot crucial elements of the film such as character development and a good , solid plot when they were thinking of horrendous ways to disgust the audience. Also, in one scene, the lens filter inexplicably changes between angles. This is a poorly done film by almost all accounts.
