Interesting idea, butchered

Rating: 2/10 (30 December 2017)

I picked up the underlying theme during the brother scene. That knowledge in place it made the extremely odd character development that most are complaining about more palatable, however it did not create continuity, dialogue or coherence where none existed. It allowed me to say, "Ok, I see what he's doing here", but it didn't make a poorly framed movie interesting. There should have been profound moments, but there were none. Merely a constant stream of misbegotten imagery with no substance. Despite not having a horse in this race, if you know what I mean, I really felt he should have spent more time with the source material and less on amateur shock factor. I give this an 8 for an interesting idea, then I subtract 6 for miserable execution.
