      A small revolution tucked inside clichés and willful artistic ineptitude.

      Seeks to shock and to outrage, and so far it's done both quite nicely.

      Certainly blunt, and since Anderson and Bach are veterans of the porn trade, there is no skimping on the sex.

      Philadelphia Inquirer

      Strictly for adventurous moviegoers, a peculiar experience -- a polemic that is at once watchable and repellent.

      Chicago Tribune

      Fast-moving shocker, but it's a dull shocker, so morally dead that it deadens you to watch it. After a while you couldn't care less if anyone is slaughtered or raped -- including the heroines.

      The filmmakers have separated themselves from all the emotions of filmmaking except anger.

      Salon

      Didactic, clumsily directed and abysmally acted, never lets go of its intellectualized approach long enough to deliver any real kinetic thrills.
