This was awful. One of the worst films I ever seen. Surveillance was a masterpiece compared to this (and I really hated Surveillance).
What was the point? What were the characters' motivations? I even tried to look into the deeper meaning of it all (like what did the grey suit represent??), what were the key themes...but forget it, I give up.
I think 10 people walked out of the screening we were in (there were about 50 of us to begin with). There were key scenes when I think people just thought they had enough. I had the urge several times but stayed in the hope it would get better, even marginally.
This could have perhaps been an interesting concept and the lead did not have to be a sympathetic character, but the whole plot was nonsensical - extremely nonsensical.
1/10 as I did think some scenes were beautifully shot despite the over use of 'End scene. Fade to black'. Shame they did not make sense.
