    Disjointed unintelligible

    After at least half an hour of disjointed unintelligible fragmented flashback scenes that made no sense, I gave up. I really would just like a story to follow, but this movie seems to be about putting the same guy in a million different places all at once without any flow at all.

    WTF

    Have no idea what this movie is about. Flashing images confusing & frustrating. Andy Garcia the only draw - was he desperate for work. Kudos to anyone who can make it to the end of the movie.

    Complete waste of time.

    Literally everything about this movie is bad. Bad story, bad acting, bad direction, bad writing, bad editing, bad sound, bad everything.

    Aghast a Crock

    Incoherent plot with an unbearable screenplay; visually despicable, annoyingly disjointed, unintelligible, headach-inducing, nauseating, nonsensically insulting and barely tolerable for about 20 minutes max, at which point had to terminate it with prejudice to preserve self respect.

    Wow, What a HORRIBLE movie!!

    We tried to watch it but it was just so bad we couldn't get through it. Horrible, disjointed flashbacks and quick scenes that quickly flash at you with no idea what they are trying to say. It was a waste of time and if you can watch the entire movie then you deserve an Oscar! Sound is either too LOUD or too quiet and impossible to hear. No in between. It deserves a Negative ten stars.
