Apocalypto (2006)

I don't usually have a problem with gore, but this movie made me extremely uncomfortable several times, and not in a positive way. The film never felt like it was going anywhere, so the gore felt entirely gratuitous and unnecessary. I found myself less and less interested in the meandering story and, by the end, couldn't care less about any of the characters, especially since we'd established from the beginning that most of them were pretty unpleasant. 1 star.
