This film had an interesting premise and some interesting ideas and some interesting images. Unfortunately, those who made the film did not now that "less is often more" and they tried to overwhelm the viewer, reiterating the same ideas, recycling the same (or similar) fighting scenes, hitting you over the head over and over, until one wants to shout at the screen "enough! I got it already!". It gives the impression of a dish in a restaurant where they pile up the spices, the calories, the textures - just to impress you.

If someone would have edited this film to about 70% of its actual length, it may have ended up a more than decent film.

I would have American directors spend some time watching (quality) European or Japanese films and learn why "less is more" and that "louder", "shocking" and "overwhelming" are not conveyors of quality.
