It is a performances centric movie

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

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."

I rented this movie on video cassette i found this movie so boring that i started be be an aggressive man and i wanted to break my TV set apart. finally i couldn't leave things like that so i re-rent the movie and at that time i had a VCR that was able to do video and audio dubbing , for people who saw this movie they know that there were some flash video in this movies that reflect the mind of the guy talking i video dub every flashes with really hard action XXX movies snapshot and my action did a better movie and i sent back the movie to rent store maybe the reason of the good review of some people of that movie is because they have seen my version :)))) sorry for my bad English i'm french speaking

This is a virtually unknown gem of a movie - thought-provoking, challenging, amusing and beautiful - what more could you want. The only serious problem with it is the lack of a release on DVD where the excellent soundtrack could really be made to shine.Definitely not for those who have to be hand-held through a plot - this is a film that rewards repeat viewings. It's rich script and subtle performances keep it fresh and give you a little extra to spot each time round.Films don't get much better than this :)

This was primarily an experiment in recording sound for a movie digitally. It's almost nothing else. The actors are good, but the story is so painfully predictable, so trite, so overextended that you'll want to heave a brick at the TV halfway through.

If you're looking for a bit of light entertainment, forget it.I saw this film when it first came to video and it blew my mind. It's major selling point at the time was that it was the first film with Digital sound. The sound is amazing but is an infrequent part of what is mainly just two guys sitting in a room talking to each other. The acting is excellent and the dialogue is highly unusual in that throughout the film your perception of what the characters are actually talking about changes. By the end, if you've been paying attention, you're head will be mangled.An amazing film, thoroughly recommended for those tired of watching the usual big budget, action packed and totally mindless blockbusters.
