Gruesome violence makes it an unpalatable experience

Marco becomes extremely hard to sit through towards the end when a family, including kids and women, is subjected to brute torture. Violence is never the problem; why and how you show it holds the key. It is ridiculous how insensitively these portions are filmed and then repeatedly played to amp up the emotions. If it was intended to make the viewer feel Marco�s pain and rage, the makers should realise that such a callous portrayal only distances us from the proceedings on screen. But if the idea is to make us squirm and puke, then yes, mission accomplished.(more)
