sick plot, so-so acting

Rating: 4/10 (7 May 2005)

as others mentioned before, this movie is full of those stupid victims, whose actions do not contribute to the movies tension, but rather annoy the viewer. cinematography is technically fairly good, but the performance of the actors is not. especially the main character, a surgeon, does it really trashy. it's a pity that movie makers put so much effort in achieving technical skills, disregarding the fact that to tell a really good story, it's necessary to know a lot about human behaviour, emotions, vileness and probity. I'm afraid this is not going to change unless the consumer strongly demands higher standards. Showing off one's really sick ideas is just not enough. I read a lot about the dazzling plot of this motion picture, but seeing it was one disappointment.
