How could this even be nominated for best picture?

Rating: 1/10 (9 April 2007)

This is a haphazard movie, with violence substituting for acting, and profanity taking the place of real writing. The editing is slipshod, to the point of making parts of the movie incomprehensible.
If you like over-the-top violent thug movies, don't waste your time on this poor excuse for movie making and instead rent "Snatch." You'll get your daily dose of violence and profanity there as well, but done with a much firmer hand on the controls.
The corruption of the motion picture academy has been obvious for the past decade, with nominations and winners increasingly determined by factors outside the film's actual merits.
