An utter fiasco; far from boring, but so devilishly drawn out and silly. I'm still not sure anything of note actually took place (ahem, except for the key RD scene) during the film's entire 101 minute duration. Its inherent looniness is derived from ridiculous images (some unintentionally hilarious) and expository departures that are supposed to aid the mounting emotional tugging towards the end. Nah. Boyle needs to sell crazy somewhere else. The thing looks great though, kudos to Anthony Dod Mantle.
