    Has its moments but not terrible
    There have been a few movies I thought weren't that good, but I watched it anyway because of the way it was filmed. This movie is one of those. Some handheld camera work along stationary work and with the type of film and filtering they used made this movie have a "feel" to it. It succeeded because by the time you were done watching it, you felt like you needed a shower - or maybe an acid wash. The acting wasn't that great, nor was the story. It seemed disjointed and uneven. Some things were left to your imagination. Even with that against it, I still gave it a 7 based on the filming techniques.
