My rating: 7.5/10

Will I watch it again? No.

Nice flick and one I had never heard of.  Pretty much all the way around everything works.  It's a good looking picture with good performances and a seemingly complex story but then if you pay attention, it all starts to make sense toward the end.  I thought about it after it was over and it wasn't as complicated as I initially imagined.  It's just not as compelling as I would have liked it which means I'm likely not to watch it again.  Still, it's got a good look and an interesting story that should appeal to a lot of genre fans. Check it out.
