Ratings and reviews

One of the most pretentious offerings I've had the misfortune to see. No plot, appalling dialogue and somehow seems to last for twice as long as it says in the description.

Don't even waste your money, this film is crap from the word go... i couldn't make head nor tail of it and don't even fet me started on the ending!

This movie is a psychological drama with a political sociological message, in regards to a near future that could possibly happen, where private corporations, owned by the few, make so much money, and being privileged by their luxurious lives, aren't so safe after all, because those who aren't rich as they are, are bigger in numbers. This is a movie about a system fall and change, probably a collapse of Capitalism and Corporatism.
