The hardest part of the first posting is deciding which movie to rate and review. I'm lazy and I'm going to take the easy way out and review a movie I just watched.
The summary can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W_delta_z
The plot is basically about a woman who forces people to chose to kill someone they love or be tortured.
I purchased this movie based upon reviews about it in Internet Movie Database. Most of the reviews said that it was a good film with a lot of brutality. In all honesty, I was quite disappointed by the lack of brutality and gore. There are a couple scenes that make the viewer want to wince, such as when a nail is driven under the nailbed of person, but even these aren't graphic. The tone of the film is dark and gritty. It's set in always-night New York city, depicting the city in the worst light imaginable full of gangs and violence.
The movie is thought-provoking though. I will always try not to include spoilers, but there is a twist in the movie that I did not see coming. It was a unique twist that most movies don't do.
I think perhaps the worst part of the movie is Selma Blair. I really do not like her acting. It is always so pouty.
