WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
