3/10
kind of interesting but ultimately pointless

This movie reminded me very much of Albert Camus' book THE STRANGER. In it, you have a main character who you know nothing about and could care less about simply commit a murder for apparently no reason. This book is considered an existential masterpiece, but when I was forced to read it in college, I just thought it was a pointless book. Well, when I watched this film, it felt like a case of Déjà Vu--the main character, who you never really understand and could care less about kills a woman about mid-way through the movie for apparently no reason. Because there is absolutely NO CONTEXT whatsoever, you don't know WHY or what sort of a person he's been--is this his first, does he make a habit of it, etc. None of this is revealed--you just watch this guy over the period of a few days go about his terribly boring life (that is, apart from killing women). Frankly, after watching the film I just found myself not caring one bit one way or the other. There were certainly better ways I could have spent my time than watch this video.
