In short: I feel gypped

Rating: 2/10 (7 April 2011)

I watched this movie because I thought it would be action packed sci-fi. I was a little worried by first few minutes as it seemed to be starting off a long way from anything in the trailer. It then began to jump around a hell of a lot, first the lead goes to the mental home, then it's an orphanage, then it's a bordello. Oh well, I can cope with that. Then she starts dancing... but wait! What's this? When she dances she closes her eyes and ends up in a fantasy world.... cue action sequences that have no bearing on the plot. This goes on for a long time. Then we find out she's been lobotomised and the entire film is all in her head. The end.
"Well" I thought to myself "That was a big kick in the teeth" The sad thing is it really could have worked but in order to give us the kick in the teeth ending of "it was all a dream" much of the direction, script and plot is misleading, contradictory and completely pointless. I don't see why this movie is being raved about by some. It's got nothing going for it but a great trailer made from all the action sequences that have no bearing on the plot at all.
