    Somehow this movie just completely missed me my whole life and I finally sat down to watch it. It has every ingredient of a movie that I would love and just feels so poorly executed that I am actually sad I thought it sucked.

    This movie falls in a category of being very cool, but not very good. It’s a technical masterpiece, as every shot…
