I can see that point of view, and don't get me wrong I didn't hate it just because it was sick and exploitative. It just didn't seem to have anything to say about what was going on, it didn't expand or explore the potential for social commentary that a synopsis like that made me think it would. It wasn't funny to me, although I've been told that it's got a sense of humour. Dead Alive had a sense of humour, and this is incredibly far removed. It was just vacant, pointless violence, for the sake of pointless violence, and while I can accept that and often enjoy films that dare to show us things people would normally never take on, this film just rubbed me entirely the wrong way.
You're not the only one who saw it that way, my best friend also said he liked it a lot, and for the very same reasons I found it detestable.
To each their own, though. If you can take something from it that I didn't see or just didn't care to see, it's all well and good. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
