    This movie was okay. Alot of things were kind of spelled out for the audience instead of respecting their intelligence to figure things out. Viggo is great, but pacing was a bit slow.

    UM ok. Anyone who thinks this movie is great or deserves more than 2 stars are either with the film company or friends of the actors! This was by far the worst acting I have ever seen. Sex scenes were stupid and the violence was ok but unnecessary in some parts. The movie didn`t flow nicely. The story was probably a good idea but not worked on properly. The only good acting was Ed Harris. BAD BAD BAD movie. If you really want to check it out, it`s worth the wait for rental....and even then it`s a waste of your 5 dollars. Horrible!

    Its david cronenberg... expect violence and sexuality that extends past most limits the average population is used to. I am undecided as to whether i liked the movie, but if you like other stuff by cronenberg and are a fan of the dark and disturbing you`d probably like it. -jen

    It was a very very slow movie. It should have been titled the History of Sex because that is all there was in the movie. Rarely any violence. Just of a lot of unnecessary scenes. Would give it 0.5 stars if that was an option.

    Wow! At first I thought Cronenberg was taking it easy with this one, going for a more mainstream film (though definitely an effective one), but as I thought about it more and more, I realized afterwards the film was a lot deeper than I initially thought. It`s probably one of the more effective films on violence and its place in the world, best since Peckinpah`s Straw Dogs. Ed Harris was absolutely chilling. Didn`t know what to make of William Hurt, though. Viggo was good. Very polarizing and thought-provoking. Also quite violent, just as a warning.
