You are right. I didn't read anything except the description:

Thinking they've cooked up the perfect crime, Vic (Eddie Marsan) and Danny (Martin Compston) abduct young heiress Alice Creed (Gemma Arterton), only to find their surefire plan unraveling as they attempt to negotiate a tidy ransom in director J Blakeson's twisty thriller. As the steely Alice lies tethered to a bed, an escalating battle of wills -- and wits -- ensues when setbacks shift the balance of power.

This movie is: Gritty, Suspenseful

I'm *intrigued* (for lack of a better term) that you chose the movie knowing it was gritty, suspenseful, violent, had a lot of nudity, and a kidnapped woman tied to a bed by two men, but it's the two guys kissing that really bothered you.

On that list, there's a lot that bothers me 'more'.

Just sayin...

Followup, to clarify and punctuate...

I personally believe homosexual activity is wrong and sinful. I remember the first time I ever heard of someone being homosexual and i knew right then and there in my heart that it was wrong.

Read the description you say you did read again. My summary, it's violent film about two men kidnapping a woman and tying her to a bed.

You speak of sensitivity to your sense of right and wrong... But you didn't rent On Golden Pond here, with what you already knew. Lots stands out to me as people doing 'wrong'. Violent, sinful, wrong. I think from the description, with the warning about nudity, there was a fair expectation, had these men been 'normal', they might have raped her.

None of these sins stuck out as things you didn't want to expose yourself and hapless children to? Nothing potentially upsetting or harmful about the rest of it?

People are nothing, if not funny :~)
