Interesting and intriguing film with bunch of different topics
18 February 2011 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

This is actually quite a intriguing movie and the three subplots were interesting for the most part. I had to pay attention to this move instead of just listening to the dialogue while surfing the web, because in certain scene the movie goes into split screen. And while the movie is going, the other side of the split screen has certain text that give more info about the characters of what is going on or what is going through the characters mind. Which I thought was sort of unique and didn't seem tacky and fit right into the movie. Sure the three subplots aren't connected very closely, but it's still a pretty intriguing black comedy with pretty good performances. It's a ballsy and creative movie that keeps the interesting aspect going until it's finished. It would have gotten a higher score from me if the plot was interwoven together more better.

7.3/10
