The mix of real sex and fake-looking violence in this 2000 French feature is curiously unprovocative.

Baise-moi
Overview
Nadine and Manu are two mad women, as tidy as can be, almost perfectionists. They have several things in common: extreme sex, drugs, beer and the trigger. They find the solution to their problems with guns and beware to those who dare to get in their way!

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Baise-Moi is like a cheapie, vintage American exploitation movie, only one that goes so far beyond the bounds of taste that its affrontiveness becomes in large part what the film is about.
Too ideologically earnest for the porn crowd and too hard-core for serious audiences.
The movie's only value is in unwittingly defining more clearly how played out the whole transgressing-boundaries- as-art thing has become.
Like an eager kid trying too hard to be noticed, it ends up just being tiresome.
