03/22/2013 Interesting, the random nakedness makes up for slow story. lol See more 05/21/2012 revenge is a dish best served dull... a revenge plot that travels all over the map before finding a place to land, the logic behind the revenge takes forever to be established and by the time it finally gets there you realize that there are no redeamable characters and that everything that happens to the people in this movie deserve everything that comes their way See more 05/09/2012 As usual the novel was far superior See more 01/26/2012 Slow and kind of boring. It fails to make me care. See more 11/18/2010 Boring, waste of time... See more 08/17/2010 Jumbled, inexplicable mess of a film. Is just about watching a series of dull-as-dishwater students being mildly nuts for a couple of hours. If there was a message somewhere in this film then graffiti might have been a better media to express it. See more Read all reviews
