"The film's second half appears primed to tread some interesting existential territory, but Buschel seems confused about what direction he means to take his material." - Andrew Schenker

I got about 15 minutes in and bailed. The movie was too cheap to even get a soundtrack!

question: is michael shannon the most interesting american actor of the last twenty years? i will answer for you. the answer is yes. probably.

"Oh, look! We've taken an old-timey noir plot and mixed in modern elements like smoking bans, phone-cams, segways and 9/11! That's what makes it NEO-noir! Get it?"

I can't remember why I rated this 78, as I fell asleep during it. However, it seemed to start with an effective noir atmosphere, and an interesting character, and although the story took some unusual directions, there seemed to be an extra level of complexity revealed at the end. I should probably watch it again to see if it was really that good.

Why are all the good movies not released in theaters

While not exactly very good, this is worth checking out for noir afficionados as well as fans of Shannon.
