I get the storyline is a touchy subject of kids getting stolen and used as sex objects, and there's a borderline of how far they can go and what can show, but I didn't think it showed too much to be too offensive to be disgusted at making you want to walk out and be shocked by the film, it's ok to watch in your spare time but don't rush to see it. |
