Very little to recommend here - after an initially intriguing opening, the film becomes a confused mess with no real focus. Everything feels disjointed and the filmmakers seem to want to create a puzzle where all the pieces fall into place at the end. Trouble is, it becomes difficult to care as the film flits from one set of characters to another with no real attempt to draw a narrative through line that makes any sense so that by the time it does reach a resolution, it is unlikely the audience will care. It doesn't help that the film is derivative of many other films already not particularly original, Crash being the prime example, but the attempt to draw out themes and meaning to the poorly told story is more likely to draw laughs. You know the script has problems when it feels the need to have its characters explain the film's supposed deeper meaning, just in case you didn't get it. Avoid!
