Reading. the above is interesting. I'm no fan at all of ultra violence and find the whole slasher etc genre unwatchable but I didn't - not , not mind but feel upset by - the violence in DD at all. I think, hoary as it is, it's because the violence is not glamourised but semi realistic ( obviously not really realistic - Matt would have walked away crippled if not actually dead from most these fights) and instead of gloating we see the perpetrator of the violence physically and mentally torn apart by it. To me that's drama not torture porn.
