Poorly edited, sloppy, and cringe worthy

Rating: 2/10 (27 June 2014)

What did I just watch? Am I supposed to empathize with this character? This unappreciative, manipulative, cruel, violent, but oh-so-apologetic rapist? Is sexual assault okay if your dad is mean to you and your friend jumps off a bridge and you apologize for it? The protagonist of this movie is nothing less than abhorrent, his supposed redemption is a cheap, unearned, insulting sham.
Aside from the single good dance scene (which does NOT involve John Travolta) this film is an awkward mess of supposed class warfare, blue collar self aggrandizement, soft lighting (so romantic!), and explicit glorification of violence and rape. Don't be fooled by the "classic" nature this movie seems to have. Don't waste your time.
