Just watched this film as I’ve been meaning to see it for a little while now. Largely because it’s been touted as one of the unseen gems of 2007, appeared to be a return to form for Mr Slater and had a seriously appetising trailer…
I kind of agree with all of you; yes it is wired and dark (in a wonderful way) and yes it is annoying and jumps around with cold characters…. But that’s just about ok because work colleagues/environments can be just that, and I think that was its point... the alienation from it all… If anything the protagonist struck me as a sympathetic Michael Doulas from Falling Down…
The biggest disappointment was the twist, saw it a mile off (and I’m perpetually dumb to obvious twists) and it really could have been expanded a little instead of just ending after the initial realisation.
All in all though, viva la Slater, anyone who kills teen princesses, rides a motor bike and quotes Moby Dick will be a life long hero of mine.
