I could definately see why some people would not like this film - like the misogynist who cannot sit through anything without van damme. Yet, this movie is not not-liked because of lack of action, but because of its tragic characterization of life. Yes, this is a pessimistic, extremely pessimistic film. I, for one, happen to like tragedies, they're more real. If you're looking for a "feel good" movie, skip this one, and go see "annie" or something. Overall, great movie not just for the plot, but for the screen shots, the soundtrack, jennifer connelly =), and the acting in general. One the best movies I've seen I quit a long time. Also, check out "pi" if you liked this. I wrote a paper about these two movies entitled "aronofsky's duality as nihilistic"
