POSSIBLE SPOILERS********** I thought that the film relied too heavily on the shock value of watching such graphic scenes. The incestuous rape, bleed out, etc... Also, I have read that some viewers were unimpressed with a film that sets up a "who did it" scenario, then finishes with a "concluding suicide" by a character that had no development throughout the film. Some felt a bit tricked. Another film that has left some audiences feeling a little bewildered (esp American) is Cache (or Hidden). Did you watch this film Paul?
