Any film that has Joy Division's "Love will tear us apart" as its love theme can't be all bad. The only problem is that is about the best that one can say about this indie film; it's not that bad.
The film is structured as a reality TV show. The difference is that the characters have to go one step further and kill their rivals. While no mention is made of time one can only assume that this is the America of some terrible future where television companies have acquired the power to force randomly selected individuals to compete on the show.
The film is well made and therein lies the rub; it is EXACTLY like a reality TV show and I personally have never managed to sit through more than ten minutes of shows like "Survivor" or "Boot camp".

Jerry Springer stars as more or less himself in this abysmal comedy about the guests appearing on a talk show.
The real show, with its tacky themes, insensitive and uncouth guests, and constantly cheering studio audience is bad enough. But there is only one word for this mess: dreadful.
A sad commentary on the American public's obsession with their 15 minutes.

This is a film that can be viewed on two levels.
The first level is that of a straightforward black comedy. Five liberal students, who think they have the answers to all the world's ills, have their comfortable world invaded by a redneck racist who is invited in for supper after coming to the aid of one of the students when he has car trouble. Naturally there is a clash of politics and, after a violent argument, the racist is accidentally killed. They decide to bury him in their garden instead of reporting the killing. What follows is a continuation of an earlier debate they had been having; would people be justified in murdering someone if they knew he was evil? Their answer is yes, and soon they are inviting other rightwingers for an evening of dinner, debate and death. On the first level the film is okay.
It is on the second, more cerebral level, that the film really succeeds. The great irony is that the liberals become intolerant, revealing the dangers of political correctness and the very real possibility of a left-wing police state in which alternative views are crushed in the name liberal values.
A good soundtrack, some sparkling cameos by the dinner guests, and a knockout performance by Ron Perlman as the conservative commentator make this largely overlooked comedy well worth a gander.
