The worst Soderbergh movie I've ever seen; in every term. The useless plot, empty and unconvincing characters along with God knows why perfect frames from a distance which rarely serves the plot but mostly bores to death. I expected to happen something or something to mean anything but nothing came up. What was the point of all the artistic fuss which doesn't tell anything at all? It is obvious that the story is not for Soderbergh and in order to tell the story it seems that he chose a very distant and cold style which only serves to show the emptiness and dullness of each character more and more. Avoid at all costs from a total waste of time.

I was one of the best films I've watched in a long time. A story of a family living in a small town struggling against the daily life like in classical melodrama. But this one takes the issue in a satiric way and takes a big step into black humor, even into film noir. While doing it never leaves the control of the movie or lose the center. A movie in harmony with all elements; from plot to actors, from cinematography to directing. It was a very pleasant experience for me, I really enjoyed it. A very satisfying movie coming from contemporary Turkish cinema which needs more films like this. In fact every cinema needs films like this.

I don't know where to begin? If it was a film about a system, bankers maybe, that abuses people even suck their blood, I'd prefer to see less cutting and blood and else! The plot was weak with many holes and it was taking itself so seriously which wasn't easy to endure. It was predictable not to mention the weird plot twists. The acting may be called fine but with all those shallow characters there was not much to do. Towards the end I really got mad to myself for picking this movie. I also got this feeling after watching Equilibrium, though I couldn't finish it and didn't figure out what Christian Bale was doing there. Anyway, I don't recommend this repo guys who far from being convincing or entertaining. The four stars I gave are just for technical issues but they don't bail out the film.
