Title: Thinly masked torturefest.
Product review: This may very well be the worst film I've ever seen. The setting of the Mayans and Aztecs attracted me to the movie in the first place, but it's merely the coat of paint thrown on a completely pointless and barbaric film.From scene one, this movie is grotesque. Mel attempts to connect us with the Mayans with an opening scene of tricking the fat kid into eating pig balls, then rubbing hot peppers onto his privates. And it just goes downhill from there.The whole film feels like an excuse to film the horrific acts Gibson seems to have become obsessed with. Near the end, it's like they suddenly remember they need some sort of confrontation and resolution, and it's like he just went down the list of movie cliches in order. In two minutes I saw every bad trick to build tension ever concieved.I'm disgusted that Apocalypto is selling so well. Or even at all for that matter. It's a horrible film.
