good gawd that opening was horrifying, and it was only because this was an Oscar contender that I didn’t immediately shut it off. I managed to get beyond all the bloody dog-fighting scenes (albeit in FF) and then somewhat enjoyed parts of the remaining movie.

I found there were several moments of incredible acting in this film, but the scenes with the dogs so turned me off that I’m quite certain I won’t ever watch this again. I’m trying to grasp the necessity of such violent and bloody dog-fights to the plot line, but truthfully my shock turned to disgust which quickly turned to disrespect and then I just didn’t give a fuck anymore what happened to those characters.

Next time I’ll read the synopsis before ordering a movie!
