I want my two hours back

This film was without doubt the biggest piece of sh't that has ever graced my dvd player. Totally dubious plot, based on two idiot girls who hate men, yawn, yawn, yawn... Complete throwaway trash of a movie. It was worse than those terrible low budget movies on the sci fi channel where you think to yourself "why did someone waste tens of thousands of dollars producing this crap?"

Whoever directed this is a numpty and I p'ss on his "artistic expression".

It was actually 1hour and 10 mins.

I've completely forgotten what happens in this film. I know I've definitely watched it, I just can't remember anything about it. Doesn't really say much for a film that is supposed to be 'shocking'.

If someone saw this movie and they get to not remember that happen? That's a gift from God.

I think the problem is that if a film is 'innovative' or 'patriotic' or 'worthy' or 'edgy', or indeed gives viewers any no-artistic reason to approve of it, they'll suspend critical faculties. If this hadn't been promoted as a 'succes de scandale', shocking, challenging etc., it would have been more obvious that the script, the acting, the story, etc. were all total s4ite.

It would have certainly worked better as a straight-up porno because sex scenes are the only ones that hold some actual interest while pretty much everything else feels like window dressing, anyway. The dynamic pornstress duo Lancaune/Anderson is more or less passable acting wise, but the story, cinematography & characterizations in particular are so ridiculously awful & amateurish that one may indeed find better in the kind of porn that doesn´t insist on being called something else. And as far as similarly plotted exploitation goes, watch Abel Ferrara´s béautifully filmed Ms.45 that even holds a surprising amount of emotional power, instead.

Do you want the hour back that you spent in traffic too? You can't get your time back. How did you make it through this entire movie if you hated it this much?

Not to go on OP's defense, but I personally have a rule: no matter how bad I think a movie is, I watch it anyway to be able to have my own opinion. Maybe OP is like that, but he sounds more like an idiot so...
