Director Mike Figgis helmed this ground-breaking experimental feature, filmed with four synchronized digital video cameras in four separate locations.

Most movies offer carefully calibrated insults to the intelligence. This one just might make you smarter.
I recommend the film.
Often disorganized, but never less than entertaining.
Hmmm. I'd like to see this film re-made with a different cast and plot and director and producer and DP and screenwriter and sound guy and editor.
