Can't really add much to the reviews already posted, so I'll break it down:
STORY - Unique and intriguing Crime Drama/Horror.
SCREENPLAY - This film has very little dialogue and what is there has very little continuity. Action and scene structure adds to the disjointed feel.
DIRECTING - This where it gets weird. LOTS of random shots separated by "fade to black". Many of which do nothing to move the story forward. Comes across as an art project as opposed to a feature film.
CINEMATOGRAPHY - This is where this film shines. Beautiful scenes, great locations. Fix the issues noted above to make the most of this.
ACTING - Actors were okay given the dialogue they had to work with. However, the sound was odd and monotone. Sounded almost like voice-over in an anime. This didn't help with the delivery of the few lines they had. Hence, they come across as wooden.
ACTION/FX - Very good (when there is some) and well choreographed, but you have to wait for the final 15 minutes to really see any of it.
All that said, it kept my interest enough that I watched through the end.
