confusing and chaotic

Rating: 6/10 (4 December 2004)

Beyond what everyone else has said, I found this movie totally confusing. Not bad confusing, but chaos confusing. For the bulk of the movie, the characters are dressed alike running back and forth a lot, it's hard to tell them apart. They have the same haircut and uniform, and the same voice when they're shouting. I couldn't tell one from the other. Even the buildings look all alike.
The chaos made the whole film feel kind of Impressionist -- you absorb bits and pieces of it. Hollywood movies aren't often like that. If you have a personal talent for remembering names, you might enjoy the movie differently from how I enjoyed it.
