The premise is there and the actors are good but there is no way to even understand the plot or anything about it until the very end. The arc isn't managed or written well, and that's too bad because this COULD have been a really great movie now that I understand where it was headed in the end.
It's a shame because this could have been such a beautifully handled film. However, most people who watch more than 20 minutes of it are lucky to get that far because the scenes are far too long and lingering. It seems like nothing is even happening except boring people being boring. They could have done a better job with dialogue to help the audience understand the characters and their motives, etc.. I think they assumed that watchers can infer everything which is impossible. You've got to give us something substantive in order to infer the plot if you aren't going to show us a plot.
Again, it's a shame because I feel like the two female actors need to be given the chance to showcase how good they are. It was clear that both of them, Keanu Reeves, and even the actor who plays his cousin were trying their hardest to make something of a seemingly non-existent script.
