Review:

OK so how many of you have ever wanted to see Michael "The Fass" Fassbender do a soft core porno? All of you? We'll your prayers have been answered. This of a mainstream film that you have seen that has the most full frontal, real life human penis..... Now multiply that by 100%. Then you have this film. The only wiener I have seen more than "The Fass's" is my own. But not in my own words, but in the world's of George Clooney himself, when talking about Fassbender he said "The guy has more balls than I do to go out there full frontal for a whole movie. He also has more penis than I do" So I guess take that as you will.... The actual story itself is however so much more than The Fass's penis. It's a story about a brother & sister's struggles within each others lives & the effect it has on each of them. Sissy (played by Carey Mulligan) is desperately struggling for unconditional love & affection from anyone that she can while her older brother "The Fass" is trying to keep himself away from any form of real relationship as he struggles to full fill his own personal demons. Now this may be the very first review I have had to do that involves full frontal female nudity as well. Young & Innocent Carey Mulligan. We'll get yourselves ready boys... for total disappointment. Her breasts are an incredible let down. Sad story. Now this movie is really not one for the kids, or even some more sheltered adults. There is so many lengthy sex sequences & just all around rowdiness. Overall the acting was actually really good. Fassbender & Mulligan actually have great on screen chemistry as brother & sister with a strained relationship. If your looking for something dramatic but quite raunchy, this is the film for you. Also too, keep an eye out for Steven McQueen films in the future, I honestly believe he has an incredible future ahead of him.
