Goofs

When 'The Fool' Murders Hierophant in the bathroom, Temperance says "So, you gonna get out from under her?" Fool replies by telling Hierophant's corpse "Get off me, you bitch," and then proceeds to push her leg off him. His shove dislodges her red high-heel shoe, which is seen to be flung a few meters from her corpse. In the following segment, when Chariot emerges from a stall in the same bathroom, Hierophant's cadaver is wearing both shoes.

Quotes

High Priestess: Can you believe this? 70 years of government fuckups all in one room. I bet you half of these are from the past eight years.

Not worth wasting time on!

I'll admit, with a cast like this I had expectations. Please be ready to have them dashed very quickly! This film didn't really live up to anything - it was almost like it tried too hard to fit too many different genres, and instead ended up with a bunch of nothingness.

Nothing seemed to fit together, there was no real plot or storyline, and I was bored. I usually watch right to the end of a film, even if I'm not really enjoying it, because there might be some redeeming feature or I might be a bit curious about how it all ends - but I didn't care about this one. At all.

It wasn't funny enough to be a comedy (I think I half-heartedly chuckled about twice) and there wasn't enough action or drama for it to be classed as anything else - I just really didn't see the point of it, and I'm very surprised at the number of well known actors who actually agreed to be in it! Very poor, and not worth wasting your time on.
