    Whoops, way outside - missed it
    I guess they had to release this train wreck after spending so much money on it, even though someone must've seen it sometime during editing. Or maybe not... although Ron Perlman is always fun to watch, this movie failed in story and acting, and the talent was wasted on the rest of it. I'm guessing this was supposed to be an artsy, impressionistic social commentary, but few are likely to get far enough to appreciate any such. I'd suggest avoiding this nightmare.
