Pretty actors, good actors.
No story.
I was very disappointed by this film. Not because I like shoot em ups - I don't - but because it had no clarity at all. It reminded me of how I felt when I had a really bad fever once and became delirious. Nothing made sense and I was having to fill in the gaps for myself all the way through. I would have had a better time just staring at a blank wall and making my own film up in my head. The experience made more sense when I checked the background of the director/writer of the film and found he was also behind Cherry 2000!!
A film that was on a week or so ago on cable and which was agreed by my family to be the worst and most annoying film we have ever sat through. Its most annoying trait was echoed by Happy Here and Now - in that both films keep on promising to get better if you just keep on watching. You have the feeling that it must be going somewhere and any moment it will all fall into place and make sense. After all they wouldn't spend all that time and money on a complete pointless waste of effort would they?
Umm.... Yes. They would.
