worst. movie. ever.

This movie was okay. Alot of things were kind of spelled out for the audience instead of respecting their intelligence to figure things out. Viggo is great, but pacing was a bit slow.

UM ok. Anyone who thinks this movie is great or deserves more than 2 stars are either with the film company or friends of the actors! This was by far the worst acting I have ever seen. Sex scenes were stupid and the violence was ok but unnecessary in some parts. The movie didn`t flow nicely. The story was probably a good idea but not worked on properly. The only good acting was Ed Harris. BAD BAD BAD movie. If you really want to check it out, it`s worth the wait for rental....and even then it`s a waste of your 5 dollars. Horrible!

terrible movie. Pointless sex scenes, and violence. Terrible ending. No character development whatsoever!

Its david cronenberg... expect violence and sexuality that extends past most limits the average population is used to. I am undecided as to whether i liked the movie, but if you like other stuff by cronenberg and are a fan of the dark and disturbing you`d probably like it. -jen

It was a very very slow movie. It should have been titled the History of Sex because that is all there was in the movie. Rarely any violence. Just of a lot of unnecessary scenes. Would give it 0.5 stars if that was an option.

Wow! At first I thought Cronenberg was taking it easy with this one, going for a more mainstream film (though definitely an effective one), but as I thought about it more and more, I realized afterwards the film was a lot deeper than I initially thought. It`s probably one of the more effective films on violence and its place in the world, best since Peckinpah`s Straw Dogs. Ed Harris was absolutely chilling. Didn`t know what to make of William Hurt, though. Viggo was good. Very polarizing and thought-provoking. Also quite violent, just as a warning.
