Hostel...a complete and utter waste of time...

Rating: 2/10 (21 January 2006)

Hostel starring: Beats me.... I was tricked into seeing this film by a friend...thank the Good Lord above I did not waste my own money. I think this movie was horrible and if this is what entertainment is coming to, it may very well be the last time I head out to the pictures. I understood the whole money can buy you anything and the world is a horrible place to be in kind of underlying story to a film that had no story. I think it was gross. I for one do not want to see people tortured on a big screen. I was sitting beside some dudes who were actually laughing. I was wondering to myself if I had in fact sat beside a serial killer? I didn't find an ounce of humor in the whole film. I also didn't find a point to it. Yeah the lead gets his revenge in the end, but the story was lagging in so many aspects, I wonder what Mr Tarantino will come up with next? I am ashamed at supporting his future endeavors. I am the first to admit I loved Natural Born Killers and Pulp Fiction and even Four Rooms. The violence within those films was an appropriate fit. But they weren't made soley for the 'gore-factor'. So do yourself a favor, save your time and money and see a movie where you might actually learn something. At this point I recommend just about anything else, as I am sure it would receive eight more stars than this pile of garbage.
