What ruined it for me was the pointless violence. I understood the violence in Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Django, and Jackie Brown. There was a purpose for the violence in those films (IMHO), and sometimes I even found the violence creative or clever in his films. But not in in this. The violence seemed solely for shock value. It never moved the story along, it didn't give me any insight to the the perpetrator nor victim, it wasn't creative in any kind of way. It was just violence for the sake of violence. And for three hours? I felt terrible after watching it.
