This movie demonstrates far to good what happens when one man will do it all himself:
He acts the leading character, he directs the movie and he has shot most of it.
It will work if you are a big talent, Woody Allen or just a genius. But James Barclay is probably just an ordinary guy of the business.
Especially when it comes to the script and the storytelling it's very clear that he could have used someone to challenge him. A strong producer who could have put his finger on the points of weakness in the script, storyboard and cutting. Or could have hired someone to do that.
Bad dialog - Bad acting - Dull zzzzzzzzzztory - Slow, slow, slow pace - Boring and one-dimensional characters.
Pretentious put together with flash backs, odd angles and far to long scenes.
Only thing making this movie worth seeing is a few good cinematographic shots.
Don't waste your time - see the real thing: Fargo, Get Shorty, Pulp Fiction...
