An average movie

Like many other viewers, I was quite blown away by 'Donnie Darko' which was definitely one of the most impressive directing debuts ever. As a result, we all had some high hopes concerning Richard Kelly but, more than 15 years later, we are still waiting for something else great coming  from this director.... Anyway, 3 years after the huge failure of ‘Southland Tales’, it seems that Kelly decided to scale down and he delivered something much less ambitious than his 2 first movies. I mean, it was still another mindf*ck and it did remind me of David Lynch's work with a little bit of 'Lost' and a lot of 'Twilight Zone' in it (as a matter of fact, this movie had been inspired by a 'Twilight Zone' episode). To be honest, even though the directing was not bad and Cameron Diaz and James Marsden did what they could and provided some decent performances, the whole thing was still too preposterous for me. I mean, the whole button thing ('should they press it or not?') was already intriguing enough but they kept adding some weird stuff every 5 minutes and I kind of lost interest after a while. Still, even though it was flawed, the whole thing was still fairly entertaining and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
