A cheat story...
28 May 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Imagine the surprise when i found out that this movie robbed an hour and thirty minutes of my time. it's not that i hate the actors, it's that the story lacks substance and then, after wasting my precious time watching the whole freaking thing, i found out that it's not really happening! it's all just a dream! a freakin' dream all concocted in his head before he died! what the frack is that!? the movie droned on about days of him living together with that angel and magically it'll be revealed at the end that he's dead? what's up with that!? i would totally agree if it's just a day, but for a week? A WEEK? come on! he slept, and ate, and drank, and got some, and played, and got hurt, and got beaten up, and applied for a gig, and everything and he didn't even noticed he's dead??? who would buy that bull!? i know i wouldn't! and that's not even the half of it. the story drags on getting the viewers to feel the movie which sadly didn't really helped at all considering they dragged it too much without building the character first which meant that you would not really relate to the characters on its minutes of slow paced "artistic" panning camera which would really test your patience to fast forward it or just up and quit watching - which i should have done if not of my love in watching films even if it's horrible.

the movie it self is built on that dragging scenes which could be cut off. you can seriously cut it off to about 20-35 minutes and still be able to understand the story - until afterward figuring that its a BIG CHEAT because the writers didn't have any brilliant idea to come up with a better ending or a better script - or maybe both. ^_^

i suggest finding other worthy drama film worth your time. the script is lame and the director tried to be artistic which is a major fail on his part.
