5/5
From the guitar roar on the Dust Brothers' opening title track through to the thundering drums of Pixies' Where Is My Mind? it is pure synapse-splitting sensory overload and the road that commercial cinema refused to take. Go to Full Review

Miles W. @mileslovesmovies99 2d A strange and eerie movie with great acting from Pitt and Norton. This is a movie that you will be thinking about for months. I am still thinking about it and I watched it last year. It definitely has some flaws but as a whole it is amazing. Definitely watch if you haven’t already.
