Although it was really nice to see really beautiful girls wearing next to nothing... often... it wasn't really good enough. There are some serious things going on in this movie, and none of them are done well. I don't recommend this movie at all, unless you want a small boner. But thats what internet porn is for, and its free
This film was so strange to me. It was good in a psychological sense. Overall i felt that it was a real stretch as far as the plot is concerned, as most films' plots are. I think it was ok.

It is for the thoroughly desensitized, which is the only way you can get through the entire film. And yes, I managed to get all the way through it. The acting is alright. The writers tried to make the father a more tragic and pitiful character that the viewer couldn't really hate. It didn't work out too well because his fate was one of the most satisfying moments in the film.
