Nicolas Winding Refn's works are different, so you either like them or hate them. Personally I love them. However this film is quite disappointing.
The direction, art, music, editing and cast is awesome as always..
But the story kills the movie.. Sometimes its too dragged out even for a Refn movie.. pointlessly slow The characters have depth, and the suspense is engaging.. But overall theme is quite ordinary and the script is just bad..
So if you can ignore a super slow paced story for almost 90 mins and appreciate everything else in the film you will find this to be a masterpiece.
I gave it a 6 because as an overall 'movie' its quite mediocre.
