    A brain-cramping and eye-straining experiment in digital filmmaking.

    In fact, for long stretches, especially during the first hour, it's as soporific as watching a bank of security cameras.

    We're afforded the illusion of an omniscience so complete as to mark a pioneering breakthrough in movie storytelling, one not to be missed.
