OMFG this has got to be one of the most violent and offenseful movies I have ever seen. I left the theater feeling shocked, and I am pretty hard to offend.

The themes include:

Underage Rape
Attempted baby killing
Rape of sex slaves
Gruesome killings with knifes (slitting of throats, stabbage in the eye,)
A penis all over the giant Movie Screen for about 4 min during a fight scene wtf?! I thought that needs to be censored
Racism (PLenty of it)
Plenty of swearing...
Minor nudity
Corpse Mutilation
Murder of mentaly disabled

This movie was probably about a D+... but OMFG how did it get past the censors....
 
"OMFG this has got to be one of the most violent and offenseful movies I have ever seen"

....and you stayed thru the whole thing....???? HAHAHAHA You're just a pervert at heart! LOL
 
I haven't even heard of it. Then again, I've been out of the loop. Is that the one with Dakota Fanning?
 
From Wikipedia...

Bruce Westbrook of the Houston Chronicle gave the film one star out of four and said it had a "contrived plot" and wrote "what it's really about, more than sensitivity for displaced people or social analyses, is violence — hideous, gruesome, over-the-top violence." Westbrook said "For Cronenberg, such cheap sensationalism is business as usual, and this far into his career, that business has slipped into artistic bankruptcy", saying that the "history of violence...better served his early phase as a director of hard-hitting horror." He said "in some ways David Cronenberg seems more surgeon than film director. Executing scenes with surgical precision, he doesn't flinch at the sight of blood or the cuts that cause it." Westbrook wrote the film "isn't about Russian gangs so much as Cronenberg's own dark passions not just for violence but excruciating carnage, which he brandishes mercilessly" and that the film was "a stifling descent into grim shock and disturbing awe."

No it is with Naomi Watts... and the movie wasn't all that bad but it was probably the darkest story one can possibly tell...
