Terrible

Rating: 1/10 (15 June 2005)

According to IMDb, this film is most popular with boys aged 0-18. Should tell you all you need to know. It contains some terrible acting. Michael Madsen deserves a rotten tomato for his efforts near the start of the movie. There are no characters to sympathise with, virtually no story and the violence just keeps coming and coming. I was on the verge of walking out of the theatre but with all the great names involved both in front of and behind the camera, I kept hoping for something positive to take away from the movie. I kept waiting and hoping. Hoping and waiting. But nothing positive ever came. The stylized violence becomes too much after about the first five minutes. I know it's based on a 'graphic novel' but we don't need to see every bullet wound, decapitation or castration in graphic detail. Don't waste your time on this movie.
