Wow, this really is poorly described. It's impossible for anyone to figure out which movie you're talking about because you inserted the wrong type of ball. It was a volleyball.

Find the common theme:

Girl leaves her employer and decides to get married. Employer is not amused and starts killing everybody. Girl takes revenge.

A couple of soldiers are dropped in enemy territory and start commiting war crimes by torturing and mutilating unarmed enemy soldiers. Also features a girl that burns down her cinema complex and kills an entire host of top politicians that way.

Hitman likes to kill people after citing bible verses.

A gang of criminals with colourful names rob bank and end up killing each other.

Jewish boy thinks he's the son of God. Torture scenes.

End of the Mayans. Torture scenes.
