RE: I did a Redbox audit on this last night . . .

" Poor Cameron looked fine..."

Yes, especially while doing the splits, wearing no undies, on the windshield of that yellow Ferrari. And Bardem's retelling of it (from his perspective in the passenger seat ;)was even more graphic than the camera angle the movie audience was allowed to see. The imagination can easily fill in the blanks, but Barden's description does so admirably. Over the top but maybe it fits. It's the sort of thing that would not surprise any of these characters. But was that really Diaz or a body double?

On another note I think it is fair to say, given as much conversation this film has generated in this thread, that this is a "good" movie. It tells its story without sacrificing itself to a formula ending. All events play out logically and with a pace that describes actions and then consequences to those actions.

If it makes some audience members uncomfortable, perhaps it should. Given the subject matter here. And as much as recent news headlines have given the US public tiny glimpses into the Mexican drug biz, we should not expect a pleasant experience.
