most gruesome movie ever....no buts its good anyhow!

Rating: 7/10 (25 March 2006)

The main thing I knew about this movie was the hype.....a lot of hype 'the most gruesome movie ever, will make you sick' etc! But in honesty there have been worse. Netherless this movie still has a heart to it, it has characters who are genuine and feel real emotions.
The fact that scares me most about this movie is that places like this torture chamber probably exist in a lot of places, maybe not to such a big extent but its the next step up from a snuff movie anyhow! To be honest it did not seem the right sort of movie for Tarantino as the film on a whole was not up there with the rest of his collection, but fair play to him for giving another director a push and helping him achieve mainstream success.
I liked the fact the lead character has a conscience (wondered why he bought up that story about a little girl drowning half way through) and he risked it all to try save her (which was pointless to a degree, however her killing herself in front of the train allowed him to get on the other train) I also liked the fact the movie never went the way you imagined it i.e you expected him to be re-caught when he re-entered the chamber for the girl.
All in all a decent movie, not a must see, but worthwhile.
7/10.
