If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The acting in this movie is really good.

I had the pleasure of seeing this film with several friends in New York. I have to say, I found it rather complex as well as gripping in many ways. I walked away feeling rather nostalgic. I suppose this is relative due to my generation, myself having been a child of the 70's. I think it was artistically brilliant and a bit 'film noir'. I can't speak for anyone else but I honestly went home and pulled out some old vinyl records and changed into a pair of well worn 'hip hugger' bell bottoms. Meanwhile, my girlfriend felt inspired to throw on her peddle pushers of yester year..yeah 'low riders', 'capri pants'.. Retro. It was a deja vu experience and I'm glad I've kept my record player!
