check out Fragments (2008), similar movie, not as disturbing.

Watch the final scene a few times over it may provide some guidance as to what the OP was referring to.

I almost came as a Shark actually, but then I realised that an Eagle was slightly better.

I agree - horrible movie. No moral, nothing good happens to anybody - incorrectly purports that all (or most) people no matter how apparently decent can be reduced to cold-blooded killers. Did they really need to have a young boy forced to perform fellatio on gang-bangers? I lived in LA for 20 years and personally knew gang-bangers and don't think that was the slightest bit realistic. What a twisted mind that wrote this. I can appreciate the acting, production quality etc, but it was all a waste. Let's take Very Bad Things - similar concept but highly entertaining. In fact I own that one.

Wow. Is that meant to be a joke? Your criticism of the movie is that nothing good happens to anyone? That makes drama "bad?" That's news to me. Good thing Shakespeare didn't know that or we wouldn't have half of his writing.

And you think that message about humanity is incorrect? Have you ever heard of a lynch mob? The holocaust? Iraq? Hate crimes? War in general? Wake up and smell the coffee dude(tte).

"Very Bad Things" was great. This was way too downer. Are four random people going to attack the poor landscape guy, who actually wasn't even drunk but very tired. One of them should have said "Stop!". The only one who knew the girl was waitress.

What are they doing? Why do they come here?
Some kind of instinct, memory, what they used to do.

I too found this movie 'disturbing.' Yes, possibly someone from the kid, to the doctor, to the limo guy and even the mother 'cudda, 'shudda, or would've but didn't. Is the tragedy of what happened plausible? I presume so - and the each of the tales could've or have happened somewhere; anywhere. However all four had issues - Psychological, emotional and personal as the film prefaced. And what eventually happened was the culmination of any frustration, anger or even hate that they possessed, of which was somewhat detached from the horror that they had witnessed.

The human mind, if not life itself, is without doubt fragile, and in this tale, and to me it illustrated what could happen when it all comes undone. I probably wouldn't want to see this movie again.
