This movie has a ton of negative reviews and did not perform at the level an Owen-Aniston film was expected so I only watched it because I wanted to see how disturbing the sex scene was. Why? Because there is an amazing double standard for inappropriate levels of violence and sexuality when it comes to major American actresses. Fans of Vincent Cassell will obviously find this film lightyears from the disturbing masterpiece--similarly despised by critics and fans alike--Irreversible. That said, the film isn't particularly offensive in terms of quality of performance. Only the RZA disappoints, but only because he fails to fit into the flow of the film; his character plays a deus ex machina so what can one expect? Living in Chicago, they played up how some of it was shot here and how it's set here, but in the end it's neither terrible nor terrific.
