Watch Broken For Free

Really Surprised!

Absolutely the worst movie.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Trent Reznor is (in my opinion) one of the best rock artists of our time. I've loved everything he's put out pre-With Teeth and no matter what direction he heads in I will always want to see and hear what he does. That said, I watched Broken completely devoid of expectations. I knew it was violent, I knew the history of the film and knew it shocked most. I'm not squeamish at all so I figured it would be great to see it.The story (persay) has to do with a serial killer and victim and is extremely intense. I was very--disgusted? disturbed? I don't know what exactly--by the torture sequences and was glad when they where over. But, one thing is for sure, Broken marks a part of the history of NIN and does it artistically and with the measure of intensity of the album. I'm glad I saw it, but, I'm completely unsure whether anything like this needs to be on film.6/10 stars

Broken was a fantastic album, a self-described "ultra-fast chunk of death." However, that descriptive would better describe the music video accompaniment to the EP. Due to extremely graphic content, this short collection of videos of (fake) torture, rape, sadomasochism, and murder will never see an official release, though it's been widely rumored that Trent Reznor himself leaked a DVD-quality copy on the internet.Fans of the band, or those with a morbid curiosity need only apply. The scenes are violent, often hard to watch, but like a horrible car crash on the side of the road, you can't help but look. Track it down; it's quite easy enough to find on the Internet. Just be sure not to give copies of it to your unsuspecting friends for Christmas, as one reviewer here has done. As he suggested, you may lose more friends than you'll be keeping.

I actually own a bootleg of this video, and I can tell you that when my friend handed me the copy he'd made, being the loyal NIN fan that I was (and still am), I rushed home, not knowing what I was in store for. Two of my friends and I sat there as the "Happiness in Slavery" video unfolded in front of us, and, while as sick as we were from that, the finale set to the music of "Gave Up" left us in a state of utter shock. We sat there, mouths gaping open, skin pale, looking at each other blankly. Alas, I've forced myself to watch the video time and time again, mostly while watching it with people who haven't seen it (it usually comes up in one of those "you ain't seen gross, man" conversations). Although extremely graphic, there is a subtle (and i use the term loosely) eroticism in the acts, both in the "H.I.S." video and in the finale of the series....it disgusts you, yet some morbid curiosity about the nature of torture and death keeps you glued to the set. Relief comes when the "killer" is finally hanged, but the viewer is still left pondering the authenticity of the video...IT JUST LOOKS TOO REAL!!! In other words....after seeing this video, you'll swear off of Italian food and red meat for a solid week at the very least.

Trent Reznor has out done himself this time! This is a very dark and demented film, but don't let that stop you! It is excellent, a must see for any Reznor fan!
