Cult is a word that's being thrown around these days rather hastily for violent movies like this, the same goes for silly Tarantino comparison's, when such films are not even close... It can be quite annoying and foolishly I believed the hype for this.. Perhaps it's my love for French film...
The biggest problem with this movie is the characters. They are all deplorable. Not one character has a redeemable, likable feature, they are actually all really annoying in fact, even down to their wardrobe. Even Vincent Cassel's characters implied charisma just isn't there.. It's almost laughable.
Beyond annoying characters you just have a boring movie and one that's far too long. It could have been far shorter. I'm glad it's over.
Overall opinion: Bottom of the barrel. Stay away from it! If you wanna see another movie with Vincent Cassel and Monica Belluci watch L'appartement, it will be a much more valuable 2 hours of your life.
In comparison, other duds I rated 3/10: Barb Wire Judge Dredd (1995) Dude Where's my car?
