Los Angeles neo-noir meets multiformat video grit with varying degrees of success.

Undoing isn't a bad film; it's just not anything great or worth recommending.

[Director Chris Chan] Lee tries to innovate, but he relies on so many tricks -- woozy overexposures, rapid-fire slideshows -- that his movie looks like the product of a teenager playing with the camera on his new MacBook.
The film is too short because the characters just aren't sufficiently developed, but even at a scant 90 minutes, it feels way too long.
