Summary: Striking and Powerful

While you watch this film, you cannot help but feel the realism. It is almost like watching a documentary. It is relentless and very psychological. Now the sequels are far inferior to this film, please remember that. The original has to be viewed with an open mind. That is what the film does actually, it opens your mind. It shows a different moral structure than we are accustomed to here. It shows what happens when the rules change. There is no fluff here. It comes right out at you and never lets up. It is not a very kind film, but instead it is a wake-up call to reality.
