    So monumentally silly, yet so wondrous to look at, that only a churl could find fault.

    Unafraid to look absurd but lacks the self-conviction needed to come off as camp.

    Such an inept bundle of work -- crying out for the filmmaking equivalent of Ritalin, but still sluggish as syrup -- that it doesn't even provide an opportunity to ogle properly.

    A fun-thrilled short flick, the ending is stylishly fantasized. The drama is engaging and explains enough character build-up to have an actual action-packed movie with cool stunts. And thats it, finally a movie worth it, only on rental though, its not a theatre movie.… Expand
