Title: Creative editing, but weak plot
Review: This movie falls into the category of everything being good except the story sadly. The camerawork was great - cool angles, well framed shots, etc.; same for audio, atmospherics and even (mostly) acting. Sadly however, the story was not good at all, and borders on incoherent. As you watch this film, it feels like an exercise in who can be the most incentive member of the team, except the screenwriters, so you end up with an artificially, somewhat over the top film that lacks meaningful substance. It reminds me of Guy Ritchie - IMHO Lock Stock and Snatch are brilliant stories and very creative camerawork and editing, but his later movies had everything the same minus the stories. So it is here. Its an ok watch if you're bored, just don't expect the story to have any meaningful impact.
Is the review positive or negative?
