A disappointing movie without a point

Rating: 3/10 (13 March 2012)

Judging from the reviews you either love this movie or you hate it. I cannot imagine being part or the former. The plot is practically non-existent: the protagonist finds and takes a suitcase with money at a drug deal scene that apparently went bad. The bad guys want their money back. What follows is almost two hours of violence for the sake of violence. Quality actors, fine cinematography and all-around technical competence (why I gave it any rating at all) don't make up for a pathetically meaningless story. This movie brings to mind art critics and wannabees standing in front of a blank canvas named "untitled #67" and praising its evocative imagery.
