But I don't know if it is because of preconceived ideas, or I don't think it can surpass . I always feel that the other two are a bit empty.

Murder, violence, pornography, all stations.
And this This movie is the bloodiest film in the trilogy. But it makes people less shocking and heartache. It's only disgusting when I see it.
