Wait for the DVD

Rating: Null/10 (20 September 2001)

This movie begins as an intriguing but somewhat slowly developing noir piece. The last act is a confusing mess. It's as if someone sold you a 10,000 piece jigsaw puzzle where the last 500 pieces don't fit. When you complain, they say "maybe that's part of the puzzle ... maybe not every puzzle has a clear solution." I had the good fortune to see this film at a special screening with two film critics present. They had both seen it twice and even then they weren't sure exactly what had happened or what the point was. Wait for it to come out on DVD so you can watch it multiple times ... perhaps even with the director's commentary.
