I got this as part of a package of movies and watched it based on reviews. Only in Hollywood can writers, actors, directors, and all, take such warped theme material and get people to call it a masterpiece. It's not at all like Hollywood classics. It's more like neurotic/warped sickness crafted, as only Hollywood can, into a piece mimicking art work. The key word is mimicking. If this is evolution in film making, we're going in the wrong direction. I understand many find this a great film. I struggled to sit through it, hoping for the "redeeming" ending read in a review. It left me feeling sick, disturbed, and further convinced of how sick and depraved Hollywood has become. If you're into sick, you'll enjoy it. Otherwise, stay clear.
