Very Overrated While the mystery of "what the hell is going on here" lingers through the first two or three character studies, this film soon falls apart. None of the characters are very sympathetic (most are actually quite deplorable), so one never really cares about them. And the plot is full of holes, especially in the filmmaker's poor manipulation of time. In at least three of the parts, but especially Frank's part, the characters simply don't have enough time, meaning time has been slowed down so they can make their marks.
Overall, this was a very disappointing movie. Not even the acting redeems the plot problems.
