    Dark, moody and just plain dreary
    I've always thought Ethan Hawke to be a kind of cerebral actor, taking parts that were outside the norm.

    I've also felt for years the scoring here was often too low, compared to my feeling and the feeling of those I spoke with. Conversely, here 3.3 is simply too high. When is the last time you watched a movie, in which the starring actor felt compelled to come on screen to explain or apologize for the movie. It seems the shooting was done largely at night, cinematographers choice or were the role players busy with day jobs. I'm probably one of the few who watched this dreck to the bitter end, hoping it would turn a corner. Sadly, the corner never came. One plus, good dramatic sound...sadly, no drama to go with it.

    2/10.

    Took me four hours to watch
    This "movie" took me four to watch because I kept rewinding trying to figure out what was going on.

    What was that? I have watched the ending three times. I still don't get it.

    What did the sex workers (slaves???) have to do with the story?

    What's up with the Asian and Russian tie ins?

    Weirder than Blue Velvet.

    Was it trying to be trendy or ???? Apocalypse Now had a weird vibe at times but it worked! This didn't work, at least not for me. YMMV.

    I'm going to give it a rest and come back in a few weeks and watch it again, maybe it'll click.

    I need 37 more characters. 17, 14, Good night........
