Not many good films about out there these days. And no, it's not lack of gore, etc. It's got good build up of a story that never unfolds and drags forever. Pointless - doesn't even point you in any direction, just as you watch it, it could have ended after half hour and would bring up the same conclusions. Mainly regret over the time wasted. Good reviews I suppose come from people who are used to low movies, that haven't experienced the really good stuff... it's like today's music, less and less to make it 'good enough' or great.
