Disjointed, Pointless, Overlong, Confusing Film

Rating: 4/10 (6 November 2012)

There are some directors that are one-hit wonders. The Wachowskis are two-hit wonders: the Matrix and V for Vendetta. High production values are the only thing that make this movie at all watchable. There are several stories making up this hodgepodge of dispair and occasional redemption. The Tagline lies and says "Everything is Connected," but the various tales do not come together in any way. The gimmick was that each of the principle actors had multiple roles, which only lends to the confusion. Are we to believe that these are reincarnations, doomed to tortured lives? At the end, I didn't feel as though I was better for the experience, but mourned the loss of the nearly seventeen dollars my ticket cost.
