If you remove the far-right political bias of ShipWrecks below, I think he would be close to the mark. (E.g., I see no note of self-congratulation in the movie.)

This is a loud, brutal, nasty film almost incapable of expressing tenderness. Even the fragile, voiceless heroine, who is supposed to engage our sympathy, still manages to sign "f-- you" to the comic book villain. This security official is obsessed with sex and violence, but the gay friend is not much better, with his repeated references to sex, masturbation, etc. The official's wife is also a monster. There's the thudding irony: they're worse than the "Asset." But everything in this movie is heavy-handed, just so no the under-educated masses don't miss anything. The light touch of Hitchcock, even in his intense thrillers, is very distant from this work.

To return briefly to politics, I would ask how this repellent movie is different from our vulgarian president, with his personal insults, s---hole countries, and appeals to the worst in voters? They are products of the same coarse society.
