    It's all we ask of a film but almost never get, as it first makes us squirm, then makes us cheer.

    Had this idea been pursued to its conclusion instead of the pat, wishfully ready-for-TV ending we're fed, the movie would be a standout.
  3. 60
    Arteta wrings some laughs from their bizarre (and more than a little frightening situation), but they're uncomfortable laughs, emotional protection from the freak show.

    Crude and inept.
