    I don't get it
    The thing I do not understand with movies like this is how come that someone gets into the serious movie work and does most of the job pretty well while failing on trivial stuff: everything done here is pretty watchable except the plot culmination which really goes nowhere. It is shallow, boring and above all - makes no sense. Everything prior to that was pretty tense and watchable. There is no mystery and everything is so predictable thereafter. The end leaves us wondering did we actually come to the middle of the film ... There are some beautiful shots made in this movie which remind us that we are actually watching a professional and not some school production.
