The last little bit was great, but my ultimate disappointment was because i was under the impression the entire movie was supposed to be torture and blood. by the time we got to it, i was annoyed and the impact was lost.
I would enjoy something that was the same basic idea, but unapologeticly brutal from start to finish. Wolf Creek was better, imo.

That's how I feel about the movie...
- There wasn't enough commentary to be a real socio political critique.
- There wasn't enough torture (in my opinion) to make it true torture porn.
- There wasn't enough brutality (in my opinion) to make it true torture porn.
- There was too much soft core porn build up at the beginning of the movie that was completely unnecessary.
I was honestly disappointed with the film... I just wanted significantly...
more, especially after the attention that the film got.
AND, I agree with Vod, even though Wolf Creek as a whole wasn't that great a movie, I thought it was more brutal than Hostel.
