    Actually it seems to be getting some positive reviews, along with some strongly negative ones.

    Rotten Tomatoes: 75% good
    IMDB: 7.4

    Gotta say though - all of them talks about how violent and shocking his previous film Irreversible was. I don't remember it being that shocking or violent. Not compared with your typical horror torture porn shit.

    • are you kidding? there was a 15 minute anal rape scene and the film opens with a getting his skull bashed inscarabin
    • True, but...anal rape scene wasn't graphic in the sense that it was X rated, you really couldn't see anything...it was more that it was disturbingukit
    • more that it was disturbing. Face bashing...sure, but how does that compare with your typical Bruce Willis flick where he guns down 500 people?ukit
    • he guns down 500 people?ukit
    • Even on a "disturbing" level, I didn't find it nearly as disturbing as a really gory horror film like Saw or Hostelukit
    • An action film, brings a lot of assumptions with it -> the main one being that it's complete fiction.

    • that's a ridiculous measurement of "distrubing". penis is not disturbing. sex is not disturbing. an innocent woman being BRUTALLY RAPED is disturbing.scarabin
    • BRUTALLY RAPED is disturbing.scarabin
    • death isn't even disturbing. showing someone's brains spill out onto the floor while their cranium is bashed in by a fire extinguisher over and over again is disturbing.scarabin
    • extinguisher over and over again is disturbing.scarabin
    • OK, fine I take it backukit
