Not to my taste.

Rating: 6/10 (2 February 2010)

This movie has the dubious honor of being one of the most unpleasant movies I've ever seen. Despite this, I have to admit it was very well made and thought out. It borrows heavily from Memento, Fight Club, The Usual Suspects and other movies in plot and design, but is unique.
There was no part of the movie that I found fault with, but I would never recommend it to anyone. It twisted a story that could have been told compassionately and simply made it into a series of cold, upsetting scenes. This is one of the movies that tests exactly how desensitized you are to wanton violence, dramatized tragedy, and basic grossness. Suffice to say, as someone who watched Requiem for a Dream and was not bothered by the tone, I found this film unnecessarily visually off-putting and felt physically sick after one scene.
I give it 6 stars because its merits earn it an 8, but the purpose of a movie is as entertainment.
