Review by: Jason James Rating:

I really don’t have much to say about his film other than it is awful. It was over the top and most of the times when something is over the top it is either funny or very witty. This does not deliver in either of those areas. I would compare it a lot to A Clockwork Orange but a much darker dialect and no real intelligence about it. Every scene in the movie didn’t have a point or were full of lunatics. I guess the ridicules, pointless, and completely absurd in a non funny way movie like this just does not end up being worth my time. I can’t and won’t recommend this to anybody. I know that I am going to get some flack for that as the movie comes up frequently when talking about cult classics. But then again it is our motto to give our brutally honest opinion and for me to do that I have to say that this movie is crap.
