Thrown back into a dusty 1980s and the height of the Iran/Iraq war, the film is a meditation on the cycles of violence and war and their infectious qualities. Clean, architectural sets are washed over by rivers of blood, as historical grievances are played back like excerpts from a documentary.

Good concept, poorly executed.
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
