I didn't think it made such a profound statement on... whatever it is it was supposed to be making a statement on, which is what the critics would have you believe (I suppose the idea is how far one goes to protect their family or something).

Don't get me wrong, it was well-acted (but not really well-written, as the dialogue was a bit corny at times) and well-shot, and the violence was great to see (especially coming from the master Cronenberg), but overall for me, it was eh.

Maybe I should let it digest a while longer and come back.
