Irreversible is a fucking horrible film. I love gritty, realistic, violent films, but this took the piss. Fucking sick. Like watching real life.

I personally don't see people getting their heads caved in with fire extinguishers everyday. You must live in a rough area :o

I was on about the rape scene mainly, like watching cctv. Worst thing ive seen in a film.
But the head cave scene is brilliantly shot, not one cutaway, making it look like you are really seing a guys head destroyed by an extinguisher, tough to watch.

superb film,quality job by bale!
Bloody hell - I can't stand that film! Thought it was all about Bale showing us what a great method actorrrrr he is - the cock and a relentlessly awful story. Not a fan of the Bale as you can tell and he just seems to do emotionally repressed characters. Would like to see him try a nice musical for a change - but even then he'd be the child catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
But loved Eastern Promises and the fight in the steam room looks and more importantly sounds real. Viggo Mortensen every time for me - and a History of Violence is pretty good too.

Tell No One. A great French film from a few years ago starring Kristin Scott Thomas.

I also reckon Dead mans shoes is up there. Heart breaking film that. It was only the second film Paddy Consedine had starred in.
The first film he was ever in was also another top Shane medows film called A room for Romeo Brass. Any body who has seen Dead mans shoes but not this should defo look it up. It's quite an amusing film in parts that but it gets very disturbing about half way through. Performance wise i'd say Consadine was even better in that than Dead mans Shoes.
The grittiest film i ever saw though is more than likely War Zone. That is just some Bleak shit right there. A very hard watch indeed.
EDIT: I'd also like to give a mention to Mike Lees "Naked" Starring David Thewlis. It was a mainstay of my college years in the mid 90's. I looked back on it about a year ago and it is still a very good film. But it's a bit of a 90 minuite winge all in all and its really only the main character Johnny (played by Thewlis) that makes the film a success.
