A bit slow going at first, but interesting. Then came the violence and craziness. Arty film that was too heavy handed - extreme for the second half. I'd say pass on it. Plus the cinematography included lots of bouncing around as the characters walked. At least that is how it felt to me. If you have a movie club it would be great for discussion. Otherwise, again I'd say pass. Granted it was a weekday matinee, but there were only 3 of us in the whole theater (my friend and one other person) and I think one person left early.
