Might I suggest that if you choose to watch this you bring a pillow and Kleenex, the tissues are for the amount of tears you will shed and the pillow is to beat it to death when you watch the violent scenes. Due to the maturity of the nature of this movie I would say you need to be over 21 years old. It is graphic and extremely violent though I know that this movie was tamed down because it was a horrendous event that took place. It is worth watching not only for the acting but for the story itself. Painful and excruciating to sit through the entire movie and not feel a thing but numbness to the kind of cruel world this really is.
