The greatest movie ever!
There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
