Irreversible begins with the closing credits running backwards before the film begins (or ends) with Marcus (Vincent Cassell) and Pierre (Albert Dupontel) being escorted out of a gay S&M club by the cops, Marcus with his arm broken and Pierre in handcuffs. The "story" proceeds to unwind in a series of single-take scenes that unfold Memento-style, with each scene giving more context to what we have seen previously. Each scenario depicts actions, dialogue, incident, behavior, and circumstances that the lead characters might have wished didn't happen, ranging from extreme violence through awkward social situations to mild embarrassment. The central character (and possible dreamer of this whole what-if story) emerges as Alex (Monica Bellucci), who suffers the worst in a very hard-to-watch rape sequence in an underpass. Semi-improvised, the scenes all have attack and power as themes, with later/earlier conversational sequences that suggest life isn't all sexual assaults in the dark, showing equal cinematic imagination with the horrors. Arguably, this is not a film most would subject themselves to twice, but it is something that stays in the mind for days after viewing, sparking far more ideas and emotions than most wallow-in-nastiness pictures. --Kim Newman

Summary: Don't waste your time or money....
Comment: I liked Momento, but this was really something else. It's camera angles, shaky shots, overly dark choppy frames, it was awful. Not to mention the story wasn't developed, and you don't end up caring about anyone. Besides the extremely long and graphic rape scene, which I agree is horrific, you just watch and kinda' wish the whole stupid movie was over.

Summary: Not as bad as I was told
Comment: Everything that needs to be said about this movie has been said. However, I just wanted to throw out there that the Death-by-fire extinguisher scene wasn't so unwatchable that I wanted to turn off the movie or vomit. The Rape scene was NOT as graphic as others I have seen on other (Hollywood) movies. The movie itself was decent, but the beginning was pretty wild, and did almost make me puke out of pure motion sickness.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Woman-hating
Comment: This film is exploitation at its worst. Not only indulging in rape but also locating the film's ultimate trauma in the woman's hidden pregnancy, as if rape is not a violent enough act when the victim isn't pregnant. Disgusting, and everyone who likes this film scares the hell out of me.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Monica Bellucci is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in hollywood
Comment: I don't like the movie, but I like Monica Bellucci, she is very beautiful and her body is the goddess.
