Great Music. Great scenes. Funny and Fresh.
Not sure why all the negative reviews.
Reminds me of a 1980's fright fest film. Although the dialogue of the main Protagonist is limited, his expressionism, surrounding situation, and the films music score tells it all.
This movie is A LOT of fun and would recommend it especially with friends.
I have no problems with the acting, as everyone performed in an above average manner.
Alcohol and Drug use scenes were accurate. Definitely not written by a bunch of phony Hollywood suits sitting around a table writing what they think it's like.
I can't say is this film is cerebral but, the dark gritty landscape fits well with the story as Barry falls deeper and deeper into isolation and despair, essentially "hitting rock bottom". I found myself wondering what the 'alien', via its first hand research, thinks as it discovers the cruel capabilities of human society, by both criminals AND government, as well as the life hardships people go through but may not realize as it's normal for our species.
I would say this film is a cross between "A Weekend at Bernie's" and "The Faculty" but, not as sinister.
