    My friend requested that we watch something "twisted". I simply put Ichi the Killer in and let her regret that particular request and letting me choose to begin with.

Bro there's a scene where a guy like explodes into blood and cum, bro it's so violent and cool bro, stop looking at your phone and watch the movie bro.

  • Review by DirkH ★★★★ 19

    ..........what the hell did I just watch?

    And why exactly did I like it so much?

    Sometimes I worry me............

  • Review by Leticia Fernandes ★★★★

    Dude who makes fake blood for a living: hmmmmmmm yessssss

  • Review by Naughty aka Juli Norwood ★★★★★ 17

    Please cue up the tune... Hurt So Good!

    I found it amusing that the publicity machine for the film handed out barf bags at the Toronto International Film Festival and the Stockholm International Film Festival!

    Even more amusing was the fact that it was subsequently banned in Norway after news of someone actually upchucking in said barf bag and another in the audience had fainted! Malaysia and Germany subsequently banned the film as well!

    Obviously this isn't a film for mainstream audiences! You would think the minute someone started handing out barf bags that would have clued the "faint of heart" in on the type of film that was to be shown and perhaps they should pass on the film…
