Title: 5 stars for Rutger Hauer, 2 for the shotgun, minus 5 for herr director
Product review: This film put me in a bind. I wanted to stop watching this worthless animalistic sick-minded crap, but I didn't want to miss Rutger Hauer's insightful, thoughtful & poignant, Dirty Harry-esque performance. He is as good in this as Mickey Rourke was in 'The Wrestler' or 'Sin City'. Molly Dunsworth was also quite good as Abby, the prostitute he protects, and who dreams of a better life. Jason Eisener however, is a self-important, fat, untalented Canadian who didn't deserve a picture deal for his amateurish movie trailer. But I'm happy that Hauer was able to get some recognition for his ability to be creative within this putrefied dreck. I'd like to have read Ebert's review, but he boycotts gore (Hostel for example) so that's an impossibility. In the future I hope Eisener can only attract actors to his projects that I don't like. Ben Affect would be great! Thanks.
