what a waste of life
Do not watch this film and make the same mistake i did. This is the first review of a film i have ever written as I felt obliged by a feeling of social responsibility to ensure other people do not suffer like i have done.
My girlfriend fell asleep while watching it with me. At the end she asked me what happened. I was lost for words...
The start of the film is quite promising, maybe even a little intriguing, it then becomes quite annoying when it doesn't make any sense whatsoever but you perservere with it expecting the plot to gradually unravel before ending in some mind blowingly clever way that makes it all worthwhile. It doesn't..!
It becomes more and more random and stupid before ending with a conclusion that is beyond the realms of absolute garbage. A sickening feeling inside you wells up as you realise thats 2 hours of your life gone forever, wasted, robbed from you by a script writer who must have been close to overdosing on drugs when he wrote it...
Its fair to say i don't recommend this......!! -
