I just found the film to be far too cruel without having much to say to redeem its violence. I can see how someone could get something out of this film but it really just didn’t say anything to me which made the violence seem unnecessary to me. Plus I was along with this film until about the third act (I don’t want to ruin anything in case someone wants to see it) in which I think it went off the rails(which can be a good thing, just not in this case). I actually enjoyed about 2/3 of it but I felt the last section really destroyed what it had built up previously.

I love the Martyrs covers yet I could not possibly hate that film more than I already do.
