The film seemed to try and define the people involved with making the snuff film, and showed the trauma it caused Nick Cage, etc. Right there you have the argument of artistic merit.
Do porn films go so far as to seriously portray character development in their plots? Rarely to any convincing degree.

I agree, there is more artistic merits to this movie than most porn flicks. However, a little art shouldn't make sure a difference between hollywood and the porn industry.
For example, if a porn movie portrays a very violent rape, but there are hours of character development, people will still bitch about the porn movie.
