No matter what the friends of the producer/director/writer/star claim, this movie is NOT brilliant,impressive, superior,wonderful, almost perfect, awesome, or superb. It is not even good. Currently it is rated 3.4 and I predict that number will go down. This is a lame exercise in ego by someone who doesn't have a clue about making a movie. Whenever you have one of these low budget "indies" and one person dominates all the credits, you have your first indication that this is all about ego. After sitting through this movie your initial fears are confirmed. Now this would not be a problem if that person was indeed "brilliant" or "awesome." In this case he is not. The script is weak, the direction is confusing, the editing is horrible, and the acting sub par. All in all an exercise in ego by someone who should not have one.
