    I saw this film last night and i expected a good film that made me think. The only thing it made me do was laugh because it was too stupid for anything else. its not the fact that the sex in it did not make sense so much as the fact that the acting was incredibly horrible. the violence was just regular and not so bad, but the acting itself was just bad. it had potential to be good but it wasn`t. Dumb acting, dumb screenwriting dumb film/movie/96 mins of my life wasted. wish id believed the other comments.

    It`s the Greatest Comedy of the season... I don`t care if this is considered a "thriller" I laughed the entire way through the film... so for a good laugh, go see this film

    Exceptionally well directed.Beautifully scripted.Acting was free-flow:no stop `n start misplaced characters---almost had a surrealistic quality about it.We saw it at the TIFF and it was a pure gift. Well done Mr. Cronenberg---pure Oscar material!

    Sometimes you see movies and sometimes you see films. This is a film. If you dont understand that statement you wont get this film. Amazing.

    This movie was sub par.... don`t bother, I know the previews look amazing, but trust me that`s the best part, the movie seemed choppy, the acting sucked from the background characters, and some scenes has no point to them. Thumbs up to the special effects though. Very disappointed, there was such promise here.
