It's an interesting concept but I felt the execution of it was a bit lacking, for me it doesn't even fall into the category of guilty pleasure kind of bad.
The film felt like it was trying too hard to be cool with it's stylization and it came off very, very poorly.
It drowned in the stiff and unnatural dialogue and the intrusive musical score was more irritating than rousing. It suffered from poor characterizations (felt no pathos for them whatsoever but that might partly be due to the bad acting) and bad movie clichés (ho drum romance and faintly ridiculous poses).
IMHO, the epileptic lighting and ADD editing seriously detracted from the story. A for the love of god, someone should have stopped the person who went nuts with post production effects. What was with that weird airbrushing thing? Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Too bad it was such a disappointment, I really liked the trailer for it.
