Better in idea than execution, 19 January 2009

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Strange musical film about the future where a huge corporation provides organ transplants on credit and then takes them back when you can't pay.

More a clever idea then an actual working film. The music is okay. the cast is good (if uneven) and it has a visual style to burn and then some, but at the same time it doesn't amount to much. Part of the problem is the songs which don't really build characters while at the same time too much of the film is revealed via comic book style titles which move the plot along but don't allow for characters to really grow. Its something that you'll watch once out of curiosity but I doubt it'll get a second look.

5 out of 10. Only for the curious and adventurous
