After 4 tries I finally watched it..


Oh boy what a mess. Should be named Incoherent vice cause thats what this movie is.

I suspect the movie becomes better with subtitles as all the dialogue feels disjointed and to make matters worse the actors all read their lines in a mumbled whisper, i had to raise the volume on my 5.1 stereo each time somebody talked but the ambient noise still managed to obscure a lot of it.

As for the main protagonist/main character....very little or better yet no development whatsoever.

The movie also had characters randomly show up in scenes without any explanation of who they are and what their purpose is.
The narrator woman and that boy that can't drive what was that about?

The only thing i liked was Katherine Waterstone she's beautiful and talented i hope she becomes a big star like to see her in more stuff, hope her Alien movie does well.

I dont want to call it pretentious drivel but it kinda was. and worse of all it just wasn't all that interesting. Objectively looking at it was a mediocre cop thriller at best. There are probably cop tv shows with better storyline than this.

I like Anderson's movies even The Master which i did not enjoy the first time and quit halfway through but once viewed in its entirety i actually loved. But this movie i doubt i will ever enjoy or appreciate.
