Irreversible

? by denise-richards

watched it last night, very good film if a little dark, the five minute anul rape scene is a bit horrific, as is the scene near the beginning where the lead character Marcus gets his head caved by a fire extinguisher, but all in all a good film 8.3/10

i just searched the threads for irreversible

and it seems like there's been loads of discussion on it.
personally i think it's a brilliant film, and i haven't found anything on tv as horrific as that fire extinguisher death.

indeed

i can tell it's a dummy of the guy but can't see where the cut is.

the final scene is best by far. beef oven is ace.

21 Grams

I saw this the same time as Irreversible.Both knocked me for six.Subway scene is quite disturbing though.Every time I walk through one I think of that scene every time,plus that scene in Football Factory where Tommy Johnston(Danny Dyer)gets his face caved in.
