By the love of God that movie was terrible. Maybe it's just because I find Japanese entertainment to be absolutely revolting in every possible way (except for sailor moon), but that movie was really bad. I mean if you like watching senseless torture then I guess the ending of this boring flick is for you, if you can stay awake until then that is.

Looks like someone completely missed the point. I don't see how you could say that the ending scene was "senseless." The entire film was building up to that point. That's like saying that the final half hour of the Godfather was senseless.

you "heart" Kubrick, but yet you can't handle a real slow moving movie. a potboiler, if you will.

apparently you haven't seen any of Kubrick's films.

Well I guess anything is boring after the rollercoaster that is 2001:D

Bwahahahaha. And don't forget Barry Lyndon. I love that movie, but DAMN it's slowly paced.

I saw this one like 3-4 years ago and has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot. Slow, boring and I didn't found the torture scenes worth watching this. I really don't understand what people find so good about this movie.
