More like something from the French new wave school than a Hollywood action piece...

Pure Asian Trash, If your into having sex with animals this movie is right up your alley. Again TRASH TRASH TRASH. I would give it No Stars. But not sure it would show up on flixster. Had to shut off after 34 Min just wasn't something that I would enjoy watching. 0 Stars from me for the movie, 1/2 star for my time.

Very entertaining, but kind of hard to comment on. I liked the style of filming, and how the characters are portrayed. Pretty difficult to get close to if you have 9 main characters, but it worked somehow.I guess it's about taking control of your own life and consequently your own death, about seeking what you deserve
