Featured review
SEVERELY UNDERRATED...OFF-BEAT...MISUNDERSTOOD...SURREAL... PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER
This Against-the-Grain Thriller-Romance-Neo-Noir Stars Two of the Most Engaging and Likeable Actors Working at the Turn of the New-Millennium.
Ewan McGregor and Ashley Judd
They are Tasked, and Succeed, in Anchoring this Crazy Mash-Up of the Psychological, Disturbing, Twisted, Crime-Spy-"Romance", Movie that Throws Expectation and Tradition to the Wind.
It's a Surreal Tale that Takes-Place in an Alternate Universe of High-Tech-High-Finance Surveillance/Investigations that are Familiar to Movie Audiences.
It Presents its Tale with an Insane Ambience where Characters, Not in Control of Their Diminishing and Destructive Faculties and Act-Out in Unexpected Methods Befitting Their Insanity.
This Makes for a Bumpy-Ride for Audiences Wanting a Smooth, Easy to Comprehend Unfolding where Motivations are Clear and Characters are Predetermined.
The Film Dodges Formulaic Behavior and Weaves a Disturbing Experience that can be as Intriguing as it is Unsettling.
The Two Characters, Ewan a Paid Surveillance Expert with a Troubling Disintegration of the Estrangement of His Beloved Child-Daughter...
"She was taken from me by her mother...She just came home from school one day and no longer had a father."
Ashley's Past is too of Abandonment and Isolation on an even Deeper Destructive Force that Turned Her into the Dementia Base Woman that is a Juggernaut.
An Art-House Take on the Prolific Genres Main-Stream Audiences Lap-Up and Patronize like so many Pavlovian Patrons.
This is Obviously Not for Everyone.
On the Surface it Looks Like Any Other Offering, Including A-List Stars in a Story that is Inviting to the Non-Discriminatory.
This is Gloriously"One-Step Beyond" All That. Yea!
