 it’s a great film.

 Gibson is relentless in showing us all the horror, the mangled bodies, the nightmare nights, the degradation of the human figure.

 The film is a splatter fest on a visual level: blood gushes in rivers, flesh literally torn from the body, broken bones, gouged eyes, and a depth akin to pornographic material from this point of view.
