Top Critican intelligent thriller - a nice surprise

Shallow characterisation, a script so laid-back you can almost hear it snoring and the occasional outburst of hokey dialogue lead to a movie a good deal less charming than it thinks it is.

Top CriticTo the director's credit, the actors all seem responsive to his touch, giving performances that are lively and flavorsome, if not deep or unlike anything each of them has done before.

It's not that this is a bad, blackly comic slice-of-lowlife: It's just that you've just seen it all before.

Top CriticA quirky, multi-character collage that skillfully keeps you off balance, not knowing where it's headed.
