Hostel
Not a classic by any means, but much better than I was expecting. The main problem that I had with this film was the generally unlikeable nature of the three main characters. Their crass and ignorant attitudes actually had me hoping that they would die. This may have been Roth's intention (in fact, I suspect it was) but in a "revenge" flick, you should be able to connect with the leads on some level. Still, not a bad movie and very much worth the rental fee, although I probably won't buy it. Overall: 6.5/10
