wildly confusing and lacking a deeper meaning

Rating: Null/10 (20 May 2004)

This movie was supposed to have an ocean of depth, instead I found it shallower than a kiddie pool. Recently, we have been getting these types of movies, abstract, dark, "deep" movies that are supposed to lead all the intellects to the theaters, this one was one of them and it was a flop. The characters and the situations are different and interesting, the videotaping wasn't bad, it wasn't the actors either it was the story. The story lacked something that a script needs and deserves, sense. This isn't bloody Alice in Wonderland! This was portrayed in a real place and since we're not all hooked on opiates we can't all understand it's deeper meaning! I found it's biggest problem was it was generally confusing. I spent half the film trying to understand what was going on, and then, they decide to change everyone's names, which made it worse. It's just another example of Hollywood trying to create a dark, uber-foreign type movie and it didn't work.
