Does the world really need this kind of trash?

Rating: 1/10 (23 May 2006)

It's sad to me that great talent would be wasted on an exercise as vile as this. I mean, this is a well-made movie; the craft is great. The filming, the actors, the effects...
But this amounts to a "snuff film" and nothing more, an exercise in pure sadism and blood lust. There is NO redeeming value of any kind. I was told that this is based on a real-world situation, from Thailand. OK: so for those of you who don't have the time or money to go to Thailand, here's the next best thing. (And maybe if you save up your dollars, you can be there in the flesh some day!)
I'm starting to think that Tarentino is a twisted perv, given that his thumbprints on a movie always means a new height in graphic violence. Sadly, is that what it takes for him to have any kind of human emotion?
But as long as we keep voting with our dollars, this kind of crap will continue to pollute the world. (Sadly, I accompanied a nephew to this film, and wasn't prepared for the extreme level of graphic violence.)
