Featured review
Great looking, but dull as dishwater.
What happens when a hired killer makes a mistake?
After a twenty minute introduction, something finally happens, and you're left with a film that's beautifully shot, well acted, with a somewhat interesting story.
The trouble is, if this film were a song, it would be something by The Smiths, there's definitely a fan base, but for some of us, it's all just too slow, too dull, and ultimately a depressing affair.
The voiceovers become a little irritating after an hour or so, and that constant first person narration slows the film down to a snail's pace.
Neo noir style, nice to look at, and I did like Michael Fassbinder's performance, but ultimately I couldn't stop myself from yawning for the full two hours.
5/10.
