Tense, but botched suspense
That untalented team Michael Vegas and Siouxsie Q ruined this thriller of a Pure Taboo segment, all about murder and infidelity but hopelessly confusing and unrewarding.
There are flashbacks within flashbacks plus flash-forwards, with the storytelling impossible to sort out. The end result got industry award recognition -an idiotic reaction.
As far as I could tell, and it would have been fairly interesting without the stupid structure, Nathan Bronson and overly-tattooed (very, very distracting) Vanessa Vega are newlyweds, but apparently she's also secretly carrying on with a creep named Felix (atrocious overacting as a madman by Tommy Pistol -ugh!!). Apparently under the spell of Christopher Nolan, the directors present the events of violence, guilt and a very lengthy sex scene in confusing chunks of footage. I lost interest quickly and ended up playing over and over parts of the scenes to sort out what's happening. In any event, the open ending resolves nothing. Script is credited to Penicio Del Toro, who probably shares if not owns the blame for the convoluted structure.
