This movie has a pretty great premise and it's executed pretty well, but falls just short of being excellent. It's surprising that it hasn't been reshot with a bigger budget by a major studio. Not that it needs a much bigger production budget, but it does need more money talent.
Particularly, writers who could flesh out the characters a bit and beef up the dialogue. (Holy meat metaphors). And fix, most of all, the lazy ending.
Spoiler Making one of the main characters a vile serial killer is a huge mistake, which punishes the viewers for becoming invested into this person. Not to mention that it robbs his killing in the end of any emotional heft. But even if the filmmakers had not done that, having him take the easiest way out was one of the worst possible endings.
These are the types of films that should be remade. Not near-perfect cinema like Casablanca, but ones which are so close to greatness.
Mucho oink, oink, such meow meow.
