    A couple of nice ideas in a sea of obviousness
    Maybe my expectations were too high but Marinetti's second feature was a big disappointment for me. This time he has been too focused to mimic international big budget and old cult movies (actually he did it very well) without adding anything original and deeply inspired. Besides a very nice cinematography, after more than two hours of a very predictable plot, eventually the movie showed me just a couple of nice ideas in a sea of obviousness.
