Yeah, I noticed that as well. I wasn't sure if it was simply because I was watching the screener and maybe some of the FX were unfinished, but I guess there could be more to it. And the movie you mentioned with the fire extinguisher was Irreversible, and that scene wasn't even the most disturbing part of the film but the rape scene was to me anyway. I think that could have been toned down as well, but then maybe we wouldn't be talking about it now. There is another example of a film that, edited a certain way, is transformed into something completely different and is more shocking as a result. Otherwise it would have played out as a traditional revenge film.
Anyway, good review Bz.
