Dreadful. Awful. Dull.
I had really high hopes for this film which was shown as the opener to the 2007 Hawaii Film Festival but it ended up being the first film festival film I've walked out of. Daniel Dae Kim was in the audience, and he give it less than twenty minutes, Neal Israel who directed the HIFF trailer give it 35 mins and I give it 55mins. When I left at least 60 people had walked out.
It's pretentious and dull. The floating balloon at the start was either a poor homage or just the most irritating opening to any film I've seen. There is no real plot to speak of, there is no real point to the movie and the other reviews I've read seem more a case of "The Emperor's New Clothes". This may be auteur film making but it doesn't mean it's good film making.
Very very poor. Avoid.
