A brilliant but depressing, profoundly evil film

Rating: Null/10 (30 April 1999)

It is not often that I am offended by a "mainstream" film. This is, without a doubt, one of the most distressing, disturbing and graphically horrific films I have ever seen. It approaches the level of shock and outrage I felt after seeing documentary footage of the appalling brutality and inhumanity of the various WW II concentration camps. It is a very dark(quite literally) vision of an Urban Hell from which no one can seemingly escape-including the viewer. I would strongly urge you to wait for a warm sunny day before seeing this one-you'll need it.
