This film is NOT for everyone. It is sexual, and very, very violent. In saying that, I watched this film in disbelief and now I can't stop watching it! It has everything: story, filming cheapness, lots and lots of blatant errors (you can see the filming!!) bt the actors don't care, they're acting and that's what makes this film fun.
I loved everybody in this film, main or supporting character. This was the best work I've seen Rosie Perez in for quite sometime (and let me add, what a juicy roll for ANY actress to have!), this film made me a fan of Javier Bardem's and James Gandolfini ...and Screaming Jay Hawkins just made me crawl under the blankets. This film is wild, its shocking, its violent beyond words, its scary and had me cover my eyes more than once. It's a wild ride and for me, that is what makes it fun! There are things in this film I never thought I'd see or hear about in my lifetime and now that I have-- oh, my!!! (oh, those poor chickens!) But again, I loved this film because of ALL of those elements.
If you rent or see this film on cable and think "Oh, this is one of those Hollywood violent films", boy are you in for a ride if you get to view the unrated, uncut version which to me, is the only way to see it.
And as a personal side note, if anyone wants to see what makes an actor an actor, see Javier Bardem in this film first and immediately see him in "Before Night Falls". Now that's acting and all of Hollywood should take note.
