Ratings and reviews

This movie tries to be several things at once. Part action, suspense and thriller. But all it really accomplished in my opinion was to be a disjointed mess. Yes, things do get explained near the end.. but by then, I had stopped caring.

This movie was kind of a train wreck. Some cool filmmaking techniques, but the only redeeming trait was full frontal nudity--and that is normally not something that entices me.

Was expecting a boring indie that I only bought because of Rosario Dawson, but found a captivating very enjoyable intrigue. Some comedy and lightness making for a positive experience. And there is a bit of trance music and even hypnotism. Plenty of action guns and blood too, added to the excitement.
