Here's what you're going to see if you sit through the hour and a half necessary to watch this movie: You're going to see a writer/director - who's clearly too clever by half - outsmart... himself. Think of it as a road movie in which the protaganist simply encounters a traffic circle and goes around and around and around and never takes an exit to a destination, conclusion, or anything else. It makes me think of Linklater's "Slackers", because at the outset you expect some characters to stick, but he keeps moving and none of them do, so you figure out pretty quickly that the narrative (such as it is) is going to be unconventional. But that doesn't happen here. It's like he had a dream in which he mashed up "Memento" and "The Usual Suspects", but when he woke up the pieces didn't make any sense, so he went ahead and made a movie out if it anyway. But just because he made it doesn't mean you have to watch it. So don't.
