Sorry, but no, it's just not enough. Did I care about the characters? No, why would I? There's little to no character development and they're just not terribly interesting or compelling in any way. Nebulous relationships, an insurance fraud scheme, a few assorted scumbags, a latent hero who somehow dispels his inner demons and emotional funk with a final heroic act in the end does not a great movie make.
Dark skies, dark interiors, dingy settings, dismal situations I understand are compelling to some, but it's just not enough.
What happened to the craft of screen writing?
