Great story, poorly acted movie. Would have been great if they had left out the SEX and nudity. Sorry I watched it, but Glad I watched it alone.

I couldn't wait to see this, bought it for a gift for Christmas for my husband. I knew it was R, I expected the violence, but not the sex and nudity. Could have left that out. This one goes in the Trash. We both said we can't watch this with our family. Terrible, I will never look at Eric Braeden the same again.
