This is a rather silly and childish film that only anyone with fantasies of stumbling upon a "snuff film" in their daddy's attic will enjoy. There is no redeeming quality to the movie, no inherent entertainment value (that is, unless you like to see people get tortured for no other reason save that the director thought it would be "cool" to have people get unrelentlessly tortured every other scene). This is the kind of film director Miike is notorious for doing. Let's just say that from now on I'll be avoiding that name like the plague. Unfortunately a lot of my American brethrens have deemed the man's name worth something, which doesn't say much about my fellow Americans, does it?
