Well it certainly appears that someone out there wanted to give David Lynch a run for his money! Calling this film weird would be a vast understatement. I did like the idea of being able to give and take away luck and how different people could use their gift of it but as mentioned by others there were some blatant plot holes and some scenes that just didn't fit in with the rest of the movie. Max Von Sydow was awesome and he is such a good actor it's a real shame that he wasn't used by more American directors because I don't think he has ever given a bad performance. While I didn't really recognize the other people I think they did a pretty stand up job themselves. My favorite scenes had to be the Russian Roulette ones as they got fairly intense. What I didn't understand however is why they threw in characters that had no relationship to anyone else and had them making quick cameos. This completely baffled me to no end! All in all I think it was a great idea, incredible acting, but ridiculed with some bad writing.
Final Translation:
Movies: Say it with me...NO!
DVD Purchase: One more time...No!
Rental: If you're in the mood for a peculiar foreign flick.
