Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
This is the stuff of nightmares, where even the good guy is bad, and as shock cinema goes, it packs a punch.
We lucky westerners get to see it in all its hair-raising, stomach-churning glory, and that's a wonderful thing.
A terrific but uncompromising film that's definitely not for everyone. It's not just that the violence is graphic, but that much of it is so mean-spirited.
After a while, the sheer length and repetitiousness of the film begins to feel pornographic in the dullest sense.
