Quotes

Narrator: [on White Mike] You will not be remembered if you die now. You'll be buried and mourned by a few and what more can you ask for? The world will spiral from underneath you, and you are either too smart or too dumb to find God. Maybe you are angry, only because the way out is through love, and you are just horny and lonely.

User Reviews

The film is definitely worth your attention

Damn i don't know if we watched the same film i do but this is masterpiece,i mean its almost perfect , interesting plot, some action and its kind of special how the movie goes on. Nice cast, its definitely not the film that you would like to watch with your family, but really smart, i mean the philosophy of the film and the whole idea is worth to be heard, its for those kind of people who can really enjoy this kind of films, but its not for wide audience, for sure... The roles is perfectly approached for actors, and off course the idea of narrator in this film is great, I never felt boring while I was watching it and it impressed me and if you not one of those assholes like the one who was write the review just before me who completely not aware in cinema , you got to love it, if you are then I feel sorry for you, your lost.
