With high expectations from the star power of the cast, I wouldn't say that I was disappointed. The plots were well woven, well acted, and the film was visually entertaining, of course. I would not have voted for the surrealism in the ending, in an otherwise realistic movie, but I'm glad I watched it.

I thought this was a great movie.... Love the characters and the movie creates a sense of loneliness really well... Some of the scenes are pretty dramatic so this movie won't be liked by the usual cinema go'ers I'd imagine... There is a dark feel to the movie and I highly recommend it , especially to watch on a cold dark Sunday evening.

I love how the redeeming factor for Joseph L. is that it stars Jessica Alba when the leading lady is actually Jessica Biel. Decent film though. Excellent acting.

Couldn't look away. Acting by Biel and Whitaker superb! Overwrought but not boring!

Relentlessly depressing, it leaves a foul taste in your mouth and makes you wonder what on earth director Bui was thinking. It's bleak and unpleasant, dark and morose. It's quite a cast though, and that's a positive.

Horrible over dramatic characters.

A standout movie. Not a dull moment. Ambitious, thoughtful and moving -- despite imperfections like the last line, and some ideas we have seen before. Perfectly paced, fascinating and superbly acted by everyone. Watch for yourself.

I am upset with the poor reviews that this movie was given by critics. This is a shining star in the relatively mediocre film scene so far this year - one tires of boring comic-book "film covers". This film is easily the best I have seen in months. Anyone that thinks that the characters are "over dramatic" need to stop pouring tar onto their film-pallet. Is there even a mainstream film that comes close to this so far this year? Critics must understand that consumers have a limited selection of movies - giving this film a 20/100 is no where near a representation of where the film should sit relative to its other mainstream peirs. I passionately believe that anyone reading these reviews should ignore anything anybody says and make a judgement on their own. If you want to gawp at someones breasts there are plenty of other websites you can do it on without rubbishing this film. Go watch!… Expand

I was excited to see this film. Wow was I disapointed! The only good thing is the when the movie ended. And I love Jessica Alba! Thats why I gave it at least a 5.

Within the first 15 minutes of this movie i began to have a feeling that it would be bad.. REALLY bad. but.. i kept watching, and was surprised. although it is different.. i don't think that it is a bad movie. it's not one of those movies that is made to appeal to the masses though, you have to be very open to different types of movies. i thought towards the end it really started to pick up and it actually left me thinking. if you are open and like a movie that makes you think.. you will probobly like this. if not, dont waste your money because you will be disappointed. i thought jessica biel was amazing in Powder Blue.. her performance was impressive to me and im not talking about her exotic dancing.… Expand

The only real mystery in this movie is why so many former A-list actors would sign on to this project. Forest Whitaker produced and was a big part of the early stages of the movie so if I am going to lay blame it is going to be on the director Bui. How else could you make a movie that contains Jessica Biel as an exotic dancer and Patrick Schwaze receiving a hummer totally unwatchable?

This movie is great. Why it wasn't released in the theatre is beyond me.. Very moving and you actually feel for the characters instead of like many movies where you just don't really care what happens to them. Thumbs up! And I'm not wasting my money on seeing Transformers 2 in the theater, no way!!
