Goofs
When Duncan stops to see if he can help Sindy, he looks in the mirror and sees her unzip her outer garments to show off her red top (and, presumably, what's inside), but when she gets to the window, the purple vest she is wearing under her outer coat is zipped all the way to the top.

This isn't high art, it's certainly not Oscar bait or even trying to be tongue in cheek...this is a blatantly bloody and violent thrill ride with little exposition and a single purpose: gratuitous violence with no deeper meaning.
If you watch this for any other reason, be prepared for copious disappointment. No nuance or subtlety, just a murder ballet for the masses.
I predict that as is the current trend, that the audience will love/like it while the critics lambast it...shows the growing irrelevance of the professional critic as their disconnect with the audience grows.
