Several of the characters were cold and cruel and the violence was a bit much for even me at points. Now, I think I was supposed to be disturbed by how poorly the have-nots were being treated and that was the point of the movie. But, my advice is to take a few minutes to think about those less fortunate than you, maybe donate the price of a movie ticket to the Red Cross or organization of your choice if you like, and skip this movie&#8230;also, go ahead and knit a scarf or two. You know. Just in case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m not gonna lie.
