Review of Martyrs

Martyrs (2008)
Not awful ... But terribly over-hyped
10 May 2009
Its OK ... First three quarters was alright ... Quite a tight little film ... But nothing special unless you are just looking for a brutal gory new film ... Then there is 20 minutes of torture porn, I fast forwarded through that cos its boring and just nasty ... Anyone could do that its not clever ... Then there is the ending, which tries to bee,,, I'm not sure what ... But it certainly isn't the revelation that some people seem to think it is ... It does sort of create a unique world of suffering ... But is that of any particular use to anyone ... In the end, the fact is, it isn't that special I won't watch it again, not because I found it disturbing, but because it just isn't particularly clever or interesting ... And exciting this film isn't ... Its a film you have to see once I suppose because its talked about so much, but its the hype thats the reason you see it ... Not the film which is really only a 3.5 out of 10
