Has anyone else here seen this film?
Does anyone else think it is the best poke at american society and media ever? And one of the most twisted movies in a long time....

I know it was released *months* ago in the US but its just out in australia and i saw it today...

I wanted to see it, but I never got around to it. It's out of the major theaters now, guess I'll have to wait for video.

I may have seen this, but today is one of those days where I'm confused by too many colors at one time, so if you could describe it for me, I'd probably still have no idea what you're talking about, but then again, I might.

Hey.

To briefly inform:

"Fresh off the plane from Russia and the Czech republic, Emil (Karel Rodin) and Oleg (Oleg Taktarov) have come to New York City in search of money owed to them. When Oleg steals a camcorder to videotape their exploits, he unwittingly captures Emil murdering a former business partner and his wife. Beaming with pride over their murdering exploits, the two immigrants begin to sell their tapes to a seedy newscaster (Kelsey Grammer) who smells big ratings in airing the snuff films. On the case are arson investigator Jordy Warsaw (Edward Burns) and famed homicide detective Eddie Flemming (Robert DeNiro). They team up to track down the two killers as they leave bodies and big ratings in their wake."

It's apparently about "educating the masses on the dangers of the media and the fragility of the judicial system in America."
