Underrated and misunderstood.
I think this film deserves more for its originality and unpredictability. I agree that it was not a film worth going to the cinema for but it was interesting and new. It was fun to watch on dvd and not too long. I have seen far worse films that have a much higher imdb rating. The acting wasn't nearly as horrible as haters make it out to be. I think people just expect the best medical students to be complete geeks. At my uni, which is ranked one of the best in the world, many of the brilliant medical students are anything but geeks.
What made this movie interesting is the psychology behind the characters which clearly was missed by most of the haters who have dissed the film and dismissed any character development as inexistent. Brilliant minds often get bored with the tediousness of what some may perceive impossible tasks. Hence why drugs are often used.They invent new ways to keep themselves from going insane with the monotony, which ironically makes them even crazier. Their obsession with the game is an indication of their insatiable ambition to be be the best. Linking this with the perverse sexual desires adds to the depth of the psychology of the characters.
If you gave this film a 1 or something ridiculous like that, it was completely unwarranted.
