might have been good, but far to slow.

Rating: 4/10 (26 January 2012)

Is it just my imagination or are movies getting slower every year? Would todays audience even keep pace with a Billy Wilder-Film? Anyway. I wanted to love this movie, i did love the look, the style, the cast & acting, i loved the fact that it delivers little dialog and no back story. Unfortunately it also failed to deliver the story, which lurks somewhere in the background and might have been good. Only thing that bothers me is this: Driver is neighbor to a woman whose husband Stander shares a prison cell with Chris who is somehow associated with Nino who is partner of Bernie who is acquainted with Shannon who is employer of Driver. OMG! If the images of the brooding driver had just been a little shorter, there would easily have been enough time to tell the story, so that it makes sense. What a disappointment.
