how a human reacts to extreme pressure, fear and/or violence is quite revealing and makes for great drama in films.
BATTLE OF ALGIERS starts off with torture and it's one of my all-time favorite films.
MARATHON MAN is a symphony of torture and widely considered a modern classic
torture figured rather prominanly in CASINO ROYALE last year and no one seeme to complain about it
Even Han Solo got tortured in THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
Sure CAPTIVITY isn't a very good film, but most films aren't very good. I really enjoyed HOSTEL and HOSTEL 2, but that's because I dig exploitation flicks.
refine your querry and complaint... and if you're just looking to hop on a reactionary bandwagon, feel free to hop off of this site.
