One of the reviews on the DVD cover say's "it stays with you". For me this was an instantly forgettable flick.
It sounded like a film with an interesting premise, but the art-house direction the film takes, put me off quite a bit, I also disliked the palette of the film. I only stayed with it to its conclusion to see what direction the film would choose to go.
I found the acting performance of Jake Gyllenhaal one of the plus points of the film, but the pace and the way the story unfolds was very unsatisfying for me.
I have read other reviews here on the meaning of the movie, so I get that it was not meant to be a conventional thriller as such, but a more abstract one. But here is where I lost interest as it was difficult to care what was happening to the characters.
I really did not care for this film, other than the acting there was nothing here that would make me recommend the film, unless you are a fan of David Lynch or similar such directors, which I am most definitely NOT.
I would give it 6/10 overall due to its artistic merits and acting, but purely for entertainment it would get less.
