    Not a bad movie but that's about it, I found it to be entertaining just enough to keep watching, but it didn't leave a huge impression on me. 6/10

    I just couldn't get into this one, it's more strange than entertaining and I didn't find it enjoyable at all. This is not for me and it definitely won't be a film for everyone.

    Success in 1 hour and 36 minutes. Rated R for Language, Graphic Sexuality, Nudity, Some Drug Use and Strong Brutal Violence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The first few minutes of this wonderful movie is worth the admission ticket.

    Bland orchestral music that didn't seem in keeping with the tone of the film. Over the top romantic/sexual scene earlier in film. Stretched out "let's all stare at each other" ending. Gangsters were pretty good characters (as in feeling authentic). Wouldn't watch again

    One of the best movie ever!

    No idea how this film got a 7.4 on IMBD. No real twists or thrill. Each character seems awfully awkward throughout. Solid 5/10 at best.

    Absolutely awful film. Slowest film and poor acting
  • Rating: 2 out of 5 stars
    The cinematography and music is completely over the top and the improvised martial arts moves are cringey. The plot is slow and uninteresting. The last 15 minutes drags on to the point of boredom. The entire movie itself is underwhelming and sleep inducing.

    A slow, methodically paced movie that raises more questions than it gives answers. Gritty, intense, & a welcome change of pace for me.
