    Please, this movie is one of the most poignant social commentaries of the year; violence breeding violence no matter the intent, the escalation of vengeance and confict, superbly subtle character development illuminating the effects of the sins of the parent influencing the lives of the children. REAL issues that people should be more aware of. A brilliant examination of the effect of perception (personal, public, and media) on a person`s life, and the resulting chaos ripple into every aspect of that life. Plot: fresh and new, Acting: stellar, Char Development: wonderfully subtle, yet complete (after the third time seeing it, you can take t

    A great movie which explores the uncommon dynamic between a family, a small town, and the past. Unapologetically violent and amazingly acted, this is one of the only must-see films released in 2005.

    Horrible, typical Canadian movie director, and I like art films. Boring, dry, lacking any style.

    What to make of this film? Could have been soo much better if only the production value had been greater. It felt like I was watching a made for network T.V. movie....only with crazy sex scenes & violence. Vigo puts in a great performance...but the dialogue at times was god awfull. The director dumbed this movie down too much. A shame, it could have been great!
