I have never smiled sooo much through a 'Mystery film'.This is a very cool movie.Many have labeled it as an "Artsy" movie, to my ARTSY usually means abstract or undefined. This movie is straight forward, a guy is dead in the begining of the movie and the detective is trying to find out who killed him or if it was suicide. Very basic, but what is NOT basic is the suspects / witnesses.Each one is living in his own world, you have the mentaly challenged, the [...] artiest, the one who thinks he's the 5th beatle. So the enjoyment is seeing how the detective *who is just as strange as the other charecters* tries to get information out of them. So you get a little romance, and alot of smiles through this experiance.I personally enjoyed it, espcially with the fact that you hear Bono singing almost throught the whole movie :DWhy did I give it 4 & not 5 stars?I was not too happy with the extra features, they did not title anyone when they are speaking, so if you don't know the names of the actors, producers ect..then your out of luck. Also the audio in the extra features was a bit unstable, low to high depeding on who is being interviewed..AND I was VERY disapointed not to find at least ONE music video for the movie from Bono, there are songs in the movie that Bono had written FOR the movie, it would have helped if they actually Interviewed Bono, since he is a co-writter in the film to give us more insight on the inspiration for this project.Other than that, it is a very cool movie, with a very believeable cast, I mean you actually believe this guys are NUTS, its fantastic. And for a murder/thriller, it actually dosen't have that much violence or blood in it...but alot of smiles.
