You won't fall asleep. Grossed out, horrified, disgusted ... these reactions all come to mind. Not sleep. I know it all happened, but I'm not sure I needed to actually see it. Man's inhumanity is not something I need so graphically displayed. However, my mom wanted to see it, and we went. It's been a long time since I had to turn my head from the screen of any movie. I did on this one.

Even Mel Gibson told Jim Caviezel that he may never work in Hollywood again after this film... Looks like he's gonna be getting even more offers based not only on his box office draw now that he's a familiar name, but his acting talent...
