Either I didn't get it or it just plain bad. Either way it was boring and devoid of any nerve. The acting is not at all bad and the effects were nice but it takes more than a shimmering outer (pun intended) to keep my attention. It bears all the hallmarks of a movie that most likely is based on a good book (which I haven't read) but doesn't come close to do it justice. Some ideas should remain on the drawing board and this, too me, is one of them. I found it rather pretentious and unable to deliver a real story. I have nothing against slow paced mysteries and I really wanted it to be good but in the end it just splutters out into a big yawn.
