After reading Fritz's review and then seeing the film, I was shocked to discover that it was yet another dose of liberal propaganda shoved down our throats by the greedy Jews that run Hollywood.
The protagonist of the film is a highway prostitute. But rather than condemning her sinful lifestyle (which includes prostitution, homosexuality, rash driving, and even murder), the film attempts to elicit sympathy from the audience toward this misguided woman. Rather than truthfully showing how her tribulations are the just result of her long history of sin and debauchery, the audience is guided inexorably toward the conclusion that her actions were predestined, due only to the disorienting effects of childhood trauma. Would the God who destroyed Sodom understand this kind of moral relativity? I believe not.
Another thinly veiled message of the film was the endorsement of homosexuality. One might presume that the incredibly hot girl-on-girl action was included in the film to attract the coveted 12 to 95 year old male audience, as well as the female twenty-somethings who enjoy the L-word on HBO. That's standard Hollywood procedure. But if you look closer you see that everything positive in the lives of the main characters springs from their lesbian relationship. Even the enjoyment of a cold beer is drawn into a correlation with girls going out, having fun, laughing together, and inevitably smooching drunkenly.
Indeed, the film is downright anti-man, while trying to show that women are as capable as men, even in the male-dominated field of serial murder. In scene after scene the female heroine overcomes the oppression of men (some of them well-armed) and stands triumphant over their dead bodies.
One of the more subtle, and harmful, messages of the film is its advocacy of euthanasia. Our protagonist is suicidal at the opening of the film, narrating that she sees no more value in her life (a common refrain of euthanasia patients). The decision is thwarted by her lesbian encounter, which temporarily gives her hope that there is something more to life than giving blow jobs. But things only get worse from that point on, eventually leading to her execution. The message couldn't be more clear: sometimes death is the best option.
This film is rated R, a rating that appeals especially to children, toddlers, and teens because of the excitement and mystery that accompanies prohibition. Coincidence? Not likely. The money-grubbing Hollywood execs know that even if wise and virtuous adults see through the thin veneer of legitimacy around this film, our children will get the message.
In conclusion, this film should be carefully avoided by righteous people. The only folks who are not likely to be harmed by this film, and may even enjoy it in all of its decadent glory, are those who are already hopelessly mired in the liberal lifestyle. For those people, this is an excellent film: intense, probing, and well acted.
