    Good, but very pretentious. Jesus and Satan walks the Earth on the last day, and what do they do? Go to bars to drink and discuss philosophy.

    Cinematography sucks in this film but the dialogue is incredible. The jittery camera work drives me nuts

    partially thoughtful, partially kind of bad, because it falls short of coming off as sophisticated although it tries so hard! just makes it kind of cheesy and funny, but at other times quite musing...
