Quotes
David:
[as the Biscuit Woman screams in pain in the distance]
What happened?
Heartless Woman:
She jumped from the window from 180. There is blood and biscuits everywhere.
David:
I hope she dies right away.
David:
[he pauses]
On second thought, I hope she suffers quite a bit before she dies. I just hope her pathetic screams can't be heard from my room, because I was thinking about having a lie down, and I need peace and quiet. I was playing golf, and the last thing I need is some woman dying slowly and loudly.

The best part of the movie happens within the first ten seconds when a donkey is shot, and that was the only time I felt any emotion. It doesn't get much worse than this. I know the acting is meant to be robotic but that comes off just like you would expect it to. What's the point of A list actors and then have them act poorly on purpose? The subject matter might be somewhat provocative but it doesn't carry the entire movie. I can really imagine people walked out of this.
This movie is horrible and boring and I think these good reviews have to be made up. Please I'm trying to save you from wanting to do what happened to the donkey. Stay away.
