Bad film

Worst film i have seen in a long time throughly disappointed, i understand that they were being experimental in making this film but was dirt on the camera lens really for effect? They should of at least got the basics right in one car scene you can clearly see the camera man in the rear view mirror! To top all of that off its got a poor weak story line that doesn't deliver like it should. The main problem with the story is that it tries to be to big and to clever and relies on the narrative and when the actors only memorise the scene just before they act it, the narrative just cant hold the film up. I recommend you save your money and watch another film. If you want a good gangster film then watch pulp fiction.
