Yes, I found it disturbing. I don't think that is reason to avoid it. It confronts the realities of our times. Not really the sort of escapism soma which many prefer today, I suppose.Kevin Spacey, of course, was excellent.
I'm not pretending to be an aesthete here. This was a movie which held my attention all the way through. And I was rooting for Lester. Does that make me a pig, or just a flawed human like those portrayed in the film?
