The Job (I) (2003)
2/10
Unpleasant and Unappealing
2 December 2012
A very inconsistent film that is rather unwatchable and cringe inducing. There is a gut wrenching self abortion attempt, a screaming pregnant woman who is and then not going into labor and then gives birth. Then she cuts the umbilical cord with a butcher knife and runs into the street and drives a car. If this all sounds ridiculous as well as a guaranteed eye diversion, it is.

There is much exposure of birth pains and no brains. A lead hit woman who is into so much self hatred and self denial that after awhile it all becomes such a load of nonsense that it loses all credibility and is just an ugly mess.

These are very unlikeable and unrealistic people who perform violent acts with motivation that is spontaneous and superficial. All the unpleasantness and gritty goings on leave a very bad taste and the wallowing in this world is ultimately an unworthy movie that really has no redeeming value and a lot to answer for.
