Highly overrated violence for violence sake.

Rating: Null/10 (5 February 2004)

I'm not going to post much about this film other than the fact that I wasted $8.50 to sit and watch two and some odd hours of the various wretched pieces of pop culture that have not-surprisingly become the epitome of all that's "fun" and "cool" in today's entertainment world. Thrown together are some of the most sick and brutally violent images I've seen wherein the purpose was simply to shock and entertain. I was mislead into thinking this would be an homage of sorts to the old kung-fu films of the 70's or something of that nature but all I witnessed was one needless chopping of appendage after another. Blood spewed almost out of the screen onto my lap and I felt sick to my stomach, not simply because the images were disgusting to me, but that this brutality had not one single purpose to the entire story. Not a single reason for this kind of violence to strengthen the plot or enhance motivation, structure, or character development. This film is made for people who simply love seeing people tortured, mutilated, or just plain sliced into bloody pieces, for no apparent reason at all.
