    Thought-provoking but proceeding at a crawl, the film suffers from performances that are virtually all pitched to the same note of existential ennui -- thank goodness, then, for Rush, who's arrives like a wake-up blast of compressed air.
  4. 30
    The scenario eventually becomes so coincidence-choked that the filmmakers have no choice but to play it for mild snickers.
