Director Richard Gray, the writer's husband and a man obsessed with slow motion, doesn't build necessary tension into the playfully pulpy material.

The movie, instead of embracing its budgetary limitations, gives off a distracting sense of trying to punch above its weight class.

2/5

It simply tries to juggle too many characters, plots, back stories, and motivations; by the time it all comes to a head, viewers might feel that they've missed something.

Kinda clunky but a somewhat original story and execution. A range of miscast people though, or it came off as that do to production/editing.
