Title: Too violent for my eyes...
Review: I only got through about a third of this movie and then I had to turn it off. Way too violent. Objectively the acting is good, if it affected me this much. But I can't watch a half hour of intense child abuse and racism and other [stuff] without feeling queasy. Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton must have been good in it, because I absolutely *hated* both of them after the first 20 minutes of the movie and didn't care what happened to them. OR maybe they were good actors but the plot was too intense. I found out later that something terrible happens to Halle Berry and is supposed to make you feel sympathy for her, but I never felt any. The two of them are a couple of monsters and deserve every bit of their misery. So, you decide...if you have a strong, strong stomach and can get through the first half of the movie, then stick with it. Otherwise, do like me and go rent a disney movie instead. I get enough [stuff] every night from the evening news.
Is the review positive or negative?
