"Inspired by actual events" yeah like "The Matrix" retells "The Bible".

Whilst some scenes are uncomfortable and some just plain worrying its so daft it seems like Ricky Gervais wrote Hostel. The Big Mans speech to God and camcorder before he cuts his balls off and puts them calmly in a jar is worthy of Churchill and the French woman with the taser was a well judged and subtle performance that captured the energy and directness of this film. Credit also to the "I'm not a stripper" womans hair which did look proper awful as her time behind bars went on.
