This movie is barely worth reviewing given how terrible the script, acting and directing is, but what's given me the urge to do so is the narrow-minded and pathetic concept that is revealed at the end of the film.
For those looking for the next "Martyrs", beware. You may be fooled by the first act of the film, and indeed when the first twist is revealed going into the second, but the story soon looses itself in a tangle of ambiguity and plods along in an attempt to land on its feet and make a pseudo-sociological point. A point which reveals Pascal Laugier's narrow perspective on society and reveals him to be a callow and clumsy writer.
Certainly one of the worst endings I've ever seen, and not just because it disappoints on a narrative level, but also because it ends on such an idiotic and banal question.
