I found this film to be trying to cover too much time in one film. You cannot convey depth and soul in such a rush. It was a check list of trying to be quirky, deep, etc. It did not work. I previously saw 3iron and that blew me away. This film has a very high score and I do not understand why. It is overtly formulaic. No character is given enough time to become anything you can relate to really. It is a hurry and that does not work for something like this. It is like Indie film for mainstream mind. I was not moved by it.
