Average viewer score of 6.2/10 from 2,016 ratings.
I saw this film when it first came out on DVD back in 2006 or 07 and didn't think much of it. And my opinion pretty much remains, some great and gnarly gore that rode the line from horror to torture porn, but R. Lee Ermey was greatly sadistic and, as with Jessica Biel in TCM '05, the camera focused pretty well on Jordana Brewster's ass. I thought this one didn't have any memorable characters to make me care about…
