The structure of the film <i>is</i> interesting and the film undoubtedly has something intelligent to say but I must confess I absolutely hated the film. The segmentation is pretentious and disruptive. The narrative arc building to the dreadful violence so slow, prosaic and painfully boring I couldn't help wishing for the protagonist to get on with it and finish the job. I know that it's the point of the film - that the violence emerges from this mundane setting and the surrounding environment - but God is it tedious to watch. I would recommend that people read about it rather than sit through it. The longest 3 hours of my life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
