not because of the acting so much, but i haven't seen such realistic graphic violence in such a long time. a must see! i love david cronenberg--he never disaapoints in the gore department!

I rented this movie the other night after all the hype, expecting it to be at least "ok," and I must say I thought it was about the worst movie I've seen in a long time.

You're not alone in liking it; it got alot of great reviews. But I thought it was stupid from the first scenes. The ENTIRE family coming into the little girl's room when she'd had a nightmare. The completely gratuitous "69" scene. It was just dumb to me.

I had expected more from it, but not a bad movie....

I thought it was ZZZZZzzzzz

acting: **
plot **
gratuitous violence *****
_____

overall ****, plus shamesless full frontal hairy beaver shot ****

wow..i loved this movie.....great acting...great job showing how violence affects the family.....the sex scene was one of the most emotionally devistating ever filmed...

and william hurt...

what more can you ask for?

all i could think of:

so wrong...

I guess I thought it'd be better, too. The man lying on the floor in the diner - that to me was the grossest scene of any movie scene I've witnessed in a while.

I thought the acting was okay. This movie certainly made me want to read the graphic novel on which it's based!!!!

This is the only American movie with a 69 sex scene. Pretty ridiculous...all movies should have at least one...and a beaver shot.

I saw this in the theatre. A woman brought in 5 under 10 year old kids to this...how fucked up is that?

They might've been drunk dwarves.

Thought about going to see it. Didn't. I'm not much for movie violence unless it's cartoony like in a superhero flick, But I am a Viggo fan. I don't think I missed much though.

I absolutley love the sex scene..

Something about seeing Viggo, made me a little excited!

the ending left a little to be desired...Viggio Mortensen was miscast, but he did the fight scenes well

i didn't like the movie much, in the end i was asking myself..."okay so what was the point?"...
