No pun intended - hopefully you like wordplay or if not can give me a pass on this. Not too many jokes in the movie itself, which is more serious and sinister in a way. And also tries to outsmart the viewer by doing timeline jumps and editing out the things it doesn't want us to see. Very nicely done one might say.
Acting wise it does feel like it is slacking a bit from some performers (shouting is not always equivalent to showing the right emotion or conveying it), but you won't watch this expecting Academy Award performances anyway (I'd hope that is). There are some nice twists along the way and you'll keep guessing ... I guess. It's all quite fine ... and could have done without the last zinger before the credits rolled ... nice landscapes and a story that sort of makes sense with some usual suspects ...

Impossible to watch for more than 5 minutes.
The acting is atrocious. I have seen amateur theater of much higher level. But with the material the actors were given, its hard to critisize them.
The dialogue is an exercise in cliche stupidity.
The directing is tragic at best.
And the plot... Dear Lord, the plot could have been written by a sleepy 7 year old on the bus to school. Just random stuff happening here and there for no apparent reason. Characters going back and forth and saying meaningless lines. And they threw in some random tasteless sex scenes for good measure too. What a waste of time...
