I just finished watching this movie and it as one of the most uncomfortable, disturbing movies I have seen. (The disturbing parts of it are rather tame actually, I just hadn't been expecting such a dark story.) Efron did an awesome job, along with Kidman, Cusack and McConaughey. The whole cast was...perfect. Kidman was the perfect amount of sexy, broken and mysterious. Cusack played an incredibly creepy, dead-eyed sociopath and McConaughey even stepped up to do quite well. While the plot line was odd and brutal, the last 15 minutes had me in between a state of shock and sadness. For some reason, it was a very emotional movie for me, sort of like Requiem For A Dream (another movie I highly recommend to those who appreciate the weirdly artistic and psychologically grotesque films). To be honest, this movie gave me shivers. I really enjoyed it.
