Scenes seem slapped together and mismatched, performances vary from tight and sardonic to mopey and melodramatic.

Well acted with an intriguing concept, but poorly directed and edited with only a mediocre script at best. There are a LOT of unnecessary filler scenes and characters that were left in.
