nothing special, but still okay

Rating: 5/10 (22 May 2006)

After seeing Broken Flowers the other day, I had great expectations for this Jarmusch film. I must say that I was disappointed. It was funny at times (especially the part with Molina and the one called No Problem). But it got pretty repetitive at the end. The RZA/GZA/MURRAY story had some lines and ideas from the one with Iggy Pop, and the last story had some lines and ideas from the one about the Tesla coil thing (with the White Stripes duo - a really lame casting choice).
Cate Blanchet was really good, playing both characters of her story (which seemed kinda odd, since she was playing two cousins. Now how come cousins look the same just like twins?).
The worst thing was the song playing during the end credits. It was some dumb rock song, which totally didn't fit into the melancholy of the movie, and was really in your face and inappropriate.
