I just watched this one at broadcast.com.
It is an interesting movie, but not a very complete one. Like many low budget movies, the cinematography is poor. Scenes do not flow well, but seem to jump around. At times, things are overdone and at times they are way under done.
The acting is acceptable.
The movie also lacks is a logical plot. Things are not tied together well. Events just happen, without any logical sense.
The opening & ending scenes are quite intriguing, but unfortunately the rest of the movie falls short. It was a good idea, in theory, but it just doesn't deliver. Overall, slightly above average 6/10.
