Depressing and Disturbing

Rating: Null/10 (3 October 2004)

I am not trying to offend anyone who really enjoyed this film, but I just kept wanting to turn it off. It was great acting and it was very well done, but it was one of the most disturbing things I have seen in a long time. For those of you who are thinking about seeing this film, think about what you really want to see. It has an extreme amount of language, which didn't quite bother me as much considering i thought the people had a reason to use it, but also it had a lot of really disturbing scenes and topics. Right from the get go the movie introduces you to the problems of the main character, he lives in a single parent home, due to the fact that his father is crazy (or is he?) and locked up in a psych ward. We also learn that, as a young 7 year old, the main character has been showing some signs of inheriting his father's problems, which, ultimately, he is. I just wanted to warn you, because I would have appreciated a warning before I was disturbed by this movie.
