Whelm may not be for those who are expecting a quick witted, gun totting action drama, although there are moments of immense tension

Movie Nation

A period piece gangster "thriller" that drowns in its own murk.

Rated: 1.5/4

The film is a beautifully complex piece that challenges the viewer to pay attention! Requires a 2nd or 3rd watch, but the layers keep peeling back and you keep seeing more you didn't see the previous time. Visually it's breathtaking - the DP is amazing. The directing is superb! Skyler is going to be a force to be reckoned with. The acting is out of this world. If you want to see something new and different - this is it!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I don't know what the movie was about. The movie was confusing and boring. Lots of dead artistic time wasting scenes. Also they use the word "Bogart" which was not used as slang until the 60s

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

This movie was all over the place man, I mean torture with a block of ice is quite original, but it went downhill from the start.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

I’m 40 minutes into the movie. And I’m under-WHELMed. Wanders aimlessly and the dialogue is uninteresting.
