The movie seems to explore the whole idea of perception and how people use that to make their decisions

I really enjoyed the movie. I thought the movie was very tragic and quite true-. I like how in the midst of the horror that the 'boiler men' created there was comedy. One of my favorite scenes was when the uptight man was in the elevator with all those 'tough guys' Very funny. I liked it---it was different.

Anyway--that's my humble opinion--- Jen
