I did sort of enjoy this movie, but I'm not sure if some meaning was lost in the editing, or it was just not well written, or if I'm just a bit dense. The acting is fairly solid throughout, but there were so many loose ends you could make another 4 movies to tidy it all up. Some subplots just don't make sense. There are others that just seem to be forgotten, and left unfinished, or unexplained. Ideally it need another 30 minutes to wrap things up, but it was a strange movie. The cinematography had a real grainy quality, as if shot on super 8, and I'm not sure if this was intentional or due to budget restrictions. But surprisingly, it did fit the tone of the movie and didn't become annoying. I can understand the 6th sense references, but I also got a bit of a Jacob's Ladder vibe, mostly due to the, at times, jarringly disjointed narrative. Having said all that, it did keep me watching and curious.
Overall I gave it a six, as it kept me watching to the end and had some really good ideas, that unfortunately were not well executed at times, but there are so many bad movies out there with good scores on IMDB, and this is not one of them Ultimately a challenging watch, but has its has it has more than enough moments to carry it through.
