because I am so tired of rape victims, at least in the USA, being brainwashed by therapists to forgive and forget because their rapists were "sick" and could not help themselves. Hogwash. They are cruel brute beasts who deserve the same fate that the rapists got in this film.
This film takes an entirely different approach from most of this genre. First, its hardly a travel brochure for Argentina as the police are shown as completely in league with the rapists who seem to be hunting women as well as animals.
Four female college students are traveling through rural Argentina back to their middle class homes when they find a woman who has been severely injured and sexually assaulted. They also saw "the hunters". They pick up the woman, who dies, and go to the local police. Bad idea. The police seem completely indifferent. As they leave town the women are sideswiped, kidnapped, taken out into the brush and brutally raped. One dies from internal injuries when she is severely beaten prior to the rape.
Afterwards, two of the women find one of the rapists' guns and decide to track them down and "do unto others". To me the deaths of the rapists were not violent enough. Maybe we Americans just do violence better because of our frontier roots and wildness that is still in us, but I was so hoping the girls could round up the rapists, cut their hands and feet off and then bury each of them alive in a mass grave. As it is the violence done to each is not nearly worthy of their past actions. Only the last killed gets a really horrible death, and you don't even get to see it.
We probably won't have the death penalty in the US much longer, but films like this should remind people that sometimes to beat them you have to join them - in technique at least.
