The Price We Pay

Emile Hirsch and Stephen Dorf both play great roles and they do it well. The storyline is a bit played out but there are some very imaginative blood and gore scenes that keep you watching.

I was very impressed with Emile Hirsch's acting in this movie. He plays the perfect maniacal crazy that you just want to hate. And Stephen Dorf plays an army medic who is hired to help out on a heist that goes severely wrong.

It's a solid B++ movie I would definitely recommend it to others. If you like the blood and gore genre. This movie will be on the top of the blood and gore B++ genre.

Watch it for yourself and find out!!

Beware: this movie contains visual horror that is incredibly revolting, like cutting someones eyes out. NOT for the faint of hearted.

This movies' first part is a simple heist gone wrong. And that first part is okay.

Then the second part is NON STOP revolting HORROR, only suited for diehard horror fans.

The good: the actors are great. We've got the ever weird but funky Emile Hirsh, who plays an excellent role of a psychopathic killer. Stephen Dorff is as cool and calm and collected as he always is. It's a joy to see these 2 great actors work together, THEY carry this story.

Any bad? I saw this movie on a sunday morning, I had just had my eggs for breakfast and my stumach turned upside down when II was confronted with such revolting horror. It is because of the "comedy" element that I could finish this movie, but I did have to skip some 15 minutes of pure horror, which were just TOO MUCH for me...

(ONLY suited) for the diehard fans of the HORROR genre...

With very few redeeming qualities. I like Stephen Dorff and Emile Hirsch and both have acted very well in many things but I haven't a clue why they aggreed to be in this beyond a paycheck. There isn't much wrong with their performances but basically, they are in a remake of From Dusk Till Dawn. The storyline is almost identical but with the badder bad guys being of a different type of evil. Both are just impersonations of Clooney and Tarrantino's characters - the insane younger guy and slightly older wiser chap who tries, unsuccessfully to limit the damage. The special effects are laughable and the ending is just plain silly. I would have loved to have liked it, I love FDTD, but this is such a poor shadow of that film it pales in comparison. It also chucks in some other horror movie cliches and eventually, you just feel like you have seen it all before but done much better.

With such a great cast you'd think they could've done more? It's worth a watch for any gorehound but be warned - the editing in particular is f'in awful. The end credits also have a comically cheesy track? I have no idea what they were thinking.

That said, it's a decent idea for a plot and the cast do a pretty good job overall. I didn't hate it, I didn't love it, but if you're stuck for something to watch and are in the mood for some decent gore (the practical sfx are genuinely impressive) I'd say give this a go.

Be warned about the editing, though. It really is quite terrible. Headache territory at some points.

This movie is pretty pointless and lame to be honest. I found myself just wanting it end. I suppose it's just a cash grab but I just keep asking my self why this even exists.

There's nothing original about it, characters are all non-enjoyable, there's no good dialogue, and it's just exceedingly dark and gory for no reason.

It's a go thru the motions wannabe horror movie with nothing really of value. The editing is pretty bad too when it comes to continuity so you know there weren't many takes and it's just not satisfying to watch.

Overall it's a big NO. Didn't like it all and felt like it wasn't even worth watching. Don't bother. 3.8/10.
