Denis Hanich (doqtor)

This movie is a disaster.

So it's high-school drama presented as contemporary film-noir. And only if you love both HS dramas and noir, you may like this as well. And with that I'm not trying to say this is a poor attempt or in any way a bad movie, because I feel just the opposite. But, I do feel this could have been much better, because it varies from amazing acting, thrilling action and surprisingly elegant storytelling to poor acting, over-the-top dialogues and some badly edited scenes. JG Levitt and Nora Zehetner were only bright stars in whole cast, but they make up for the rest. But considering this was a low budget movie, it's understandable, and almost acceptable. Jazzy soundtrack is one of the key elements that made me to like this movie so much, because it perfectly reflects characters feelings but also goes hand-to-hand with every action scene.

One of most thoughtful movies I've ever seen. I think this is one of those life-changing movies, that gives you a lot to think about after watching it. Dialogue is superb at all levels. I defiantly need to watch this again, and also some other Bergman works.
