Here is the New York Times? Frank Richs review. I pretty much agree with it:
Quote:

With its laborious buildup to its orgasmic spurtings of blood and other bodily fluids, Mr. Gibson?s film is constructed like nothing so much as a porn movie, replete with slo-mo climaxes and pounding music for the money shots. Of all the ?Passion? critics, no one has nailed its artistic vision more precisely than Christopher Hitchens, who ... called it a homoerotic ?exercise in lurid masochism? for those who ?like seeing handsome young men stripped and flayed alive over a long period of time.?
