waaaay too violent sickeningly so


i mean, i've never in my entire life watched a movie and thought this is too extreme with the violence or too drawn out with the violence except for a scene in kids. but this movie takes it even further with the explicitness and extremeness. there comes points where it is gratuitous and sadistic and this movie goes way past those points even. the makers of this movie should be ashamed of themselves. put it this way, the sex equivalent of this would be to make a legitimate movie with actual sex in it. we don't want to be disturbed by violence in a movie. there are certain things you can't unsee.

I think Robocop was worse, so dont go watching any Paul Verhoeven movies!

This had some violence sure, but I didnt think it was too disturbing. When you back alley brawl someone with bare hands you are gonna get bruised and bloody.

What scene in particular made you want to write this post?

They were all KGB, Stasi or European agents, who were aware of the 'kill or be killed' situations. It was necessary to show the realism of this.

The scene in Gascgoine's flat maybe overdid it, as they were (maybe?) ordinary police officers. But still there on Percival's tip-off.

Terrifier is way worse. Same with Hostel
