maybe, maybe not

i don't know on this one. i give it a lot of credit for being stylistically unique and not that bad of a story but lets be honest and say its difficult to sit through. its long, slow, and confusing. the acting is rough, the sound is awful, its hard to tell if this is purposeful or mistakes. take for instance the cutting of the scenes with main narrator character; his scenes of after the fact narration to the viewer are so choppy literally at times from one word to the next and to the next is 3 cuts laid next to each other. its visible. i have to assume that was intentional, it happens no where else in the movie. but to be honest again, it seems poorly done rather than stylish.

the story is hampered by confusion. psuedo-mytho-religious babble that is leading this detective drama. so heavily stylish that for 3/4th the movie i thought it was suppose to be a sci-fi with aliens but instead its a revenge killer in costume ala the joker. everything in fact leads up to the ending which for some people will strike them as a "ah-ha" moment and the rest of us will be left thinking "you mean all that was nothing...what?!!"

proceed with caution. if you want something unique and fairly good...go for it. for most people i'd have to say avoid it.
