A first for me
i have been going to the movies now for almost 46 years and in all that time i have never walked out before a movies conclusion until last week when i went to a preview screening of this - i hesitate to call it film !
I lasted 40 minutes watching this ill conceived , badly edited, pretentious pile of crap , 40 minutes of disjointed images,contiual swearing and profanities, i am no prude but i was mightily embarassed at this opus.
Anyone who pays money to see this is crackers and dont rent it sit and watch paint drying its 1000% more entertaining.
I am sorry if i have offended the arty farty reviewers who say this is a brilliant movie but they must have been drunk or on drugs when they sat through this -

I have to agree with Joseph, I also watched about 40minutes of this film, and had to turn it off in the end. I kept trying to persevere with it but nothing was really happening, except for a lot of swearing anyway!
