Worth persevering with

Rating: 8/10 (20 February 2005)

Now here is an interesting movie that tends to polarise viewers. Many will find this movie absolutely revolting due to some of the subject matter covered in the first half hour. This is required to set up the film, and yes, it is quite unpleasant.
The rest of the film brings together a couple of interesting ideas. Despite what I thought were some minor flaws, I think quite well done. There is a nice dose of black humour in there as well.
I saw this on cable TV so it probably isn't the director's cut that is mentioned. I found the ending a little bit of an anti-climax. I was expecting more. You could probably describe it as being both predictable and unpredictable. Sounds an odd way to describe it, maybe the director's cut ending is better.
There is a level of ambiguity in the towards the end of the film, and I think it should have been left there.
Well worth watching. Certainly a little different than most recent movies.
