If you turn away from the movie after the very hard and maybe even too
explicit (though it really isn't, but it feels like it is) beginning,
you will miss out on the why. You won't be able to see where the
director wanted to take this. And it would be a shame. This is as "down
and dirty" as a movie can go. From cinematography, acting and
story/character (development).
It might not be your cup of tea of course (nothing glossy to be found
here), but if you let yourself into the story and the characters (with
all their flaws, of whom they have many), then you will be rewarded
with a very weird and angry story. It won't pull any punches either
(whether you like that or not) and stays true to it's grittiness
throughout. One of the better movies I watched in 2010 (and I watched
quite a few)
