User Reviews

Really beautiful camera work accompanying a really terrible film.

This is a film that could have been great.

It has an interesting premise and theoretically complicated characters; however, in execution it gets almost everything wrong.

The script is terrible. Character development is introduced with a heavy hand and a total lack of imagination, and dialog is clunky at best.

The acting is sub-par. The male lead is competent, and though the leading lady is quite pretty, she's only adept at acting sick and vomiting endlessly. Very little chemistry exists between the two.

The only redeeming factor of the film is its cinematography, which is absolutely breathtaking. It's as if the director found his setting first and decided it was so breathtakingly gorgeous he should track down a story that he could fit to it.

Probably the only reason to check this out is to see some really beautiful landscape shots, and even then, after the first fifteen minutes they seem few and far between.
