I Like It Rough

Rating: 7/10 (22 July 2013)

It used to be one of my favorite movies when I was a teenager; things may have changed after watching it more carefully. You know, I will not deny this is pure entertainment, with an engaging storyline, mainly if you are a boy. Cast is most of the time professional, and the mysterious plot makes it very interesting to see. Torture scenes are well done and you feel like you're the one being tortured, given that actors and director do their jobs very professionally. However, we've got to admit there are some plot holes that makes it unconvincing at times. For instance, why would Svetlana bring Paxton to the slaughterhouse to see his dead friend? Wouldn't she imagine he could run and kill the bad guys, just like he did? And more, how come nobody found out about the American carnage after so many dead people? Wouldn't the families seek for help? Wouldn't FBI interpose in that shambles? However, considering "Hostel" did its job in delivering a tense and entertaining torture movie, this is still a good movie.
