good back-story, and good acting

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Its taken 5years to submit this review, because even thinking about the darkest few hours of my life watching this ASS of a film gets me upset and flipping angry. It was a Sunday night in the summer,i decided to sit down with a beer and a hot chilli pizza with next door neighbours cat by my side to feast on what i thought must be a good thriller with a somewhat interesting plot and storyline i was SO WRONG.When the credits came on the screen i spat and coughed my 5th beer over the cat, the cat called TIGGER licked my pizza plate chewing strong chilli almost dying on me. Tigger was my friend, i never saw him again. We both died that night.(SPIT)

When my friend came into work one day, I knew something had changed within him. He was soulless and void of hope. I couldn't imagine what could have possibly happened to him! Cancer? Death in the family? Had he met Madonna? No! It was this (spit) film. I repeatedly asked him to tell me what it was about. Who was in it? Could it really be THAT bad!!?? He never gets angry, but that day he was broken. What is it about? "I don't know!!!" Well, what happens? "I don't know!!!!"Eventually I agreed to watch it. My life will never be the same. I would rather watch the video tape from the Ring or become the back of the the human centipede then watch this soul destroying piece of crap. I wish I had read the other reviews before watching this! I wish I'd listened!!Here's a spoiler! Nothing happens!!! The beginning isn't really a beginning because it's not connected to or relevant to the rest of the film. The middle is all the bits of other films that were cut out by the director and put together by a blind monkey while his organ grinder plays that awful French song sung by a random transvestite for no reason. The end...there IS NO END!!!I was angry, I was transformed, I am no longer able to step inside a church or laugh without getting nose bleeds. Finally we lent it to another colleague. She came in the next day unusually quiet. I asked her is she was OK but she was too angry to talk. I asked her if she'd seen the film and she told me to never mention it again!! She got up to make a tea and thought she'd missed the end of the film. No! There isn't one!!This movie has bonded the three of us together forever, for we will never know the answers to the hundreds of questions this film creates! Who are these people? What are they doing? What is meant to be happening? Reading a plot summery just makes it more confusing somehow!! Our favourite part, the end credits lists 3 actors and then says..."and many more!" Before fading to black! On the plus side...my mum liked it.

I saw the rating of 2.0 when I browsed the four films on this DVD. I wasn't expecting much, but I expected a bit more than this. Hugh Grant, Malcolm McDowell, a suspense thriller, I thought maybe a 3 or even a 4/10.But there was not a single redeemable quality to it, not one and the 2.0 average rating looks extremely generous. You find yourself asking all sorts of questions throughout, outside of the obvious "what the hell am I wasting my time with this for". Why characters are doing what they are doing, why has this happened, what it is, why has it gone to slow-motion...but they're all rhetorical questions as you know nobody has the faintest idea, even those that wrote it probably.The end makes no sense - following on nicely from the previous 90 minutes. The cameraman at times was either sloshed or in hysterics (probably at taking a wage for a film like this) that the shots jump around all over the place, I'm sure he trips over while filming at one point.There's an recurring focus on a pigeon flying around the sky, which at first is unnecessary and irritating but by the end the pigeon is one of the few who come away with any credit at all and leave with his head held high.By my reckoning Hugh Grant and Vera have sex three times within 24 hours of meeting and by the end of the first full night are chatting away like they're Terry and June when in reality they've known each other less than a day.There are some films down at the 1/10s, the Robin Askwith ones, where they are so bad they are quite amusing for it. This wasn't one of those.

I'm generally not somebody who'd criticize, but this movie deserves to be exposed. It's the worst piece of cinematography I've ever seen and I have been leading the film club at our school, so I saw all the amateur crap pupils brought in. For goodness sake, home movies of babies sleeping motionless are more interesting. This movie sucks so much, that if you own it, you'll never need a vacuum cleaner again! It's so dull that in comparison even cotton candy seems like a razor sharp object! Neonazies chase the leading character, but he is able to walk away from them in an empty train cart, only to run into them later on and escape by allowing them to get killed at his convenience.Come on, even when you see the sexual scenes between the leading actors (and the lady is hot) you'll just say to your self, why do they show this. Shouldn't they rather end it? And when they finally end the movie, you're not even glad the torture is over, you actually get angry at them for waiting until the end. Trust me, it's the time you'd better spend with the TV turned off.I'm seriously considering contacting my lawyer and making a civil suit against the director for not committing suicide before finishing this movie.
