This hard-core pic is a half-baked, punk-inflected porn odyssey masquerading as a movie worth seeing and talking about.

What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
Didactic, clumsily directed and abysmally acted, never lets go of its intellectualized approach long enough to deliver any real kinetic thrills.
The filmmakers have separated themselves from all the emotions of filmmaking except anger.
Philadelphia Inquirer by Desmond Ryan
Strictly for adventurous moviegoers, a peculiar experience -- a polemic that is at once watchable and repellent.
A small revolution tucked inside clichés and willful artistic ineptitude.
Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
As has happened before in less extreme circumstances, filmmakers with purportedly serious intentions punish their viewers for watching their envelope-pushing depiction of sex on the screen by presenting it in the most profoundly negative context imaginable.

It's pornography of the most depressing sort.
Chicago Tribune by Michael Wilmington
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.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer by Sean Axmaker
Seeks to shock and to outrage, and so far it's done both quite nicely.
