This is so terrible, so pretentious, so silly that it's flabbergasting. The camera jiggles, and when something important is happening the camera jiggles even more, and it becomes very dark so you can't tell what happened. Maybe someone got hurt. Or killed. Or met a chipmunk. Impossible to know. Then the big music slows down again and you're somewhere else looking at other people. Probably people who weren't in the movie before. Lots and lots of different people. But a lot of time you don't actually see people. The jiggly camera focuses on stomachs, necks, that sort of thing. No one to root for. Nothing to hope for. You see a guy stop his car and shave with an electric razor. Not a clue, mind you, but the director found it interesting. It's a movie for people who are too insecure to admit they have no idea what's going on. Even if we were to find some answers, was it really worth all the trouble of watching garbage like this? Not a chance. I freely admit I wrote this review after viewing the thing for only about 45-50 minutes, but if this much of the film is absurd and foolish, can the rest save it? I felt it was my responsibility to warn others.
