At its best, Brimstone is like being caught up in one of God's more entertaining divine rages.

Although the four-chapter structure is neatly handled and the savage backdrop strikingly photographed, there's something a little unsavoury about this picture.

Brutal in its depictions of violence, Brimstone is tough to watch at times, but never less than gripping, even as the clock creeps up to the 150-minute mark.

Koolhoven’s Brimstone is hard to watch and to stomach...[but it] is [still] well-executed.

There's more than a whiff of sulphur about Brimstone.

If you'll allow it, Brimstone will grow on you and draw you in to its engrossing plot.

I think people hate this movie because they can't fathom the realities that this would have been the ending she would have gotten. The movie is underrated, and I see now that a lot of people are starting to warm up to it. I love the movie its very anxiety driven it keeps you on your feet, and when you think it's all over, they hit you with the final blow. Guy Pierce's character is fucked up, very fucked up. Dakota's character is just tragic, and I can't watch the last part. Because I unknowingly watched it in the beginning. I think if you hate the movie, just my opinion, you need to re-evaluate your sheltered life.

One of the most ridiculous movies I've ever seen. Absolutely awful.

While the acting is excellent, this is the only movie I've ever seen that I almost couldn't finish because it was an uncomfortable watch. My threshold for violence and horror is above average, but this movie borders on gore porn. It has been 5 or 6 years since I watched this film and it still stands out in my mind as the darkest, most depressing film I've ever seen. The only reason I'd recommend anyone see this movie is for the sheer spectacle of how messed up it is.

Actually a decent movie but SO DARK. So dark. Almost unwatchable. If you want to end your movie-watching experience with a heavy heart and a disturbed mind, go for it. Dark not like a horror movie with cheap thrills but dark like the very depths of the human soul. My advice? Stay away. Literally one of the most disturbing movies I’ve ever seen.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom
