It does speak to gripping writing and acting though. It is like in Saving Private Ryan. When Oppum refuses to go save Melsh (I may be misspelling names here) who is being stabbed by a Nazi I wanted to jump in the screen and throttle him.

Gripping story telling is sometimes not the kind that is confortable. So I get where you are coming from, I think.
