Synopsis: Too lengthy to state here. See the Wikipedia entry on this film for the synopsis.

My Take: I came away from this film thinking, "That was weird." I wasn't sure if I liked it. It's been 16 hours now, and I determined while the plot wasn't what I wanted it to be, it was still a captivating show. Entertaining, maybe. Captivating, absolutely. This is not your average film. As you can see above, the plot is too lengthy and involved to state here. I can see how others would like this more than me; this genre doesn't play to my tastes terribly well. But yeah, I liked this show. As for the Kids-In-Mind.com rating, I would say a 9.10.10 is over the top. This is more like a 7.9.10. Granted, this was rated by them while the site was in its infancy, but I think their estimate is a tad high. However, the drug usage in this movie, something not rated by KIM, is extensive, especially within the first forty minutes or so. Anyway, see this film. I'd say this is more like "Fight Club" than anything else.

Concerning the rating: The 8.4 puts it in a tie for 25th with eight other films out of 158 rated.
