Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
