    Should be less than 1 star. Vulgar and obscene, we left in the middle

    I am surprised that so many people give 5 or even 3 stars. It's absolutely tasteless and full of disturbed characters, women or men. Public nudity is not necessary by any actress, who wants to see that, can go to the porn movies, so much crude scenes. Why don't we make clean movies about all the beautiful black or white people who have dignity and morals and won't undress for a public.

    This movie was not to my liking. How anyone, black, white or green with pink spots could survive the violent beatings is beyond me. While it is a true story, it is not very realistically acted and it is more of a documentary than a movie.
