If you want to watch a movie that looks amazing - then this beautiful, ad elegant film is for you. If you want to watch a movie with an engaging plot line, that draws you in, makes you feel and leaves you satisfied - well keep looking. The plot line of this movie is so bland, so poorly written, so predictable, so head scratching that at the end all you can say is "What?" and not in a good I just watched "Inception" and had my mind blown way. Is it artsy - yes. Is it good - no.

This movie really captures my inner-most senses....it captives my mind.... it inspires me..... yes its true, but all in the negative realm! I can not say enough bad about this idiotic, ridiculous, and down right offensive movie. The ideology of the movie is to degrade the quality 'old school' style of north american life to be a modern mess....take for example the men in this movie....all the men are savage, wicked, evil, and down right horrible except for the homosexual friend of the main star and of course the second main character who is male but not a man! View at your own risk!

You know how Fargo does a great job of putting action, crime, drama, romance, and sci-fi into a really great period setting? This movie is like a well polished and short season of Fargo that's a little too heavy on the foreshadowing for the mystery seekers. Some of the sets were really well built and the musical score almost steals the show as it really pulls you back in time. I could see me buying the soundtrack. This would be a great date movie, but you would really need to plan ahead so you could have a boiled egg on hand at the right moment.
