The story sounds interesting enough. I may go check out the original novel and read. But this film.. It's so incredibly, Painfully SLOW. All I can say about this film is, if it was 100 min. long (instead of 145), perhaps I would be willing to give 8 or something. Usually I can enjoy most so-called artsy crafty films, but this time the style feels unreasonable and unjustifiable. For example, when two guys just walk to the next block without uttering a word, the director spends 2 minutes shooting this remarkable adventure. The director simply turned a promising concept into a torture (for most moviegoers, I am positive). After seeing this, I'd bet you realize the virtue of Hollywood's fast-paced style.
