Had the makers of this movie developed something from the scene where the protagonist drops the little girl from his motorcycle to the nuns, they might have made a memorable film. Of course, the film ends on a note about the little girl and the nuns but that is not the movie one gets.
Roger Ebert recounts the secession of stolen elements from actual motion pictures and defines part of the problem with this mess. The film simply replicates quotes from other works.
Sometimes, the film has a certain visual beauty but nothing ever comes from that beauty. The narrative is incoherent. Threads form and disappear. Nothing happens in all the rush of action. Humour almost works but again never forms patterns or stories.
I do not know what the makers of this film intended. I doubt that they knew. Several films might have happened; not one did.
