Interesting and bizarre but pointlessly confusing. This is a film that seems not too sure what it wants to be and in the end fails to be anything.

Manages to be both cold and distant, while simultaneously claustrophobic and sloppy. Strange but not very compelling.

Cold, clinical, but not all that proficient in its execution (surprisingly). Some plot elements seem hackneyed, while sometimes it's hard to tell what's going on. The movie glows when there's a shootout - since that's probably what real shootouts are like - or a corpse is dissected. More could have been done with everything else.
