Brutal movie

Hello,

I haven't seen this movie in a long time, but suddenly thought of it last night for some reason, and decided to look it up here on the message boards. It's been about 15 years since i've seen it, but i remember it being a brutal movie. Wings played just an awful, brutal man. I didn't watch it through to the end..not sure why, but from what i remember of it, i'm not sure i want to, either. I remember Wings gets 'Princess' away from the police and i remember only a few scenes with him and her, but they were very brutal scenes. I do hope she lived through the ordeal. He sure was a mean man !

Not as brutal as that other gangsta flick, The Passion of the Christ!

Nothing is more beautiful than nothing.

That's when you know its a good film when people are so disturbed by the brutalte of it. I'm watching it now at 7 in the morning and from what I've seen it's very raw and Wings plays a very sick indvidual on the film he did a fantastic job

It was brutal, and very uncomfortable to watch. I think in that respect this film deviated from the other films in this niche genre, in that it was brutal in a realistic way that wasn't fun to watch.

If you love and support Michael Jackson 100%, copy & paste this into your signature. We love MJ!

Me too! I watched this, and Savage Streets, and some other horribly brutal Linda Blair movie when she goes to reform school movie and she gets raped. And I wonder, why was I allowed to watch that stuff?

But, see, we turned out okay, right:)

Here's another one that is similar in it's grittieness, and shows the seamy darkside of Hollywood in the 70's and 80's, 1979's Hardcore with George C. Scott:

Season Hubley is in it as well.
