Worst movie I've ever paid to see

Rating: 2/10 (7 January 2006)

This movie is a terribly painful disappointment. I am not a Tarantino fan at all, but I gave this movie the benefit of the doubt, considering the fact that I thoroughly enjoyed Saw I and II (and Eli Roth is rumored to direct the third one). I think the only reason Tarantino tied himself to this movie is due to the fact that it is ridiculously gory.
The first half of the movie was terrible. It's just a bunch of stupid kids doing drugs and screwing chicks in Europe. On top of the lack of story, the acting was so horrible, my friends and I could not stop laughing. Sure...the acting in Saw wasn't great either, but this was just far too ridiculous to take seriously. Then came the gore. I thought the gore was not only sadistic, but pointless and fake. I was waiting for this movie to redeem itself just a little bit, but it never happened. My friends and I were tempted to ask for our money back.
So when it comes down to it, see Hostel if you only care about the 'glorification of excess,' but if you're looking for a gory movie that's not mindless, and involves true suspense and has a point, stick to Saw and avoid this movie like the plague.
