Ugh. Ew. Blah. This movie, despite being overloaded with violence, sex, quirky dialogue, and a very distinct style, was not that great for me. The trope of 'doom', so to speak, in the repeated use of "hell", "apocalypse", "666", and allusions to the devil was tired after about the first 20 minutes. At one point in the film Rose McGowan's character Amy Blue riffs on Hobbe's famous philospohy on life from Leviathan, in which he calls life, among other things, "nasty, brutish, and short". Blue, in turn, calls life "lonely, boring, and stupid". That pretty much sums up the feelings this movie evokes.
You're underestimating this one. Try it again under the right circumstances.
