    Dark, literally and figuratively
    I just today saw this film at a film festival. I give three stars for the effort, not the final product. I don't get why the sound and lighting was so bad, maybe they wanted to be subtle about something I missed. The story line was...well, it was bad. I could find no redeeming part to take away with me. I will never get the time back I spent in the theater watching that movie.
