Since the movie lives on the relationship (a very complicated one at that) of our two male protagonists, it is really essential that it works. Unfortunately I don't think it truly achieves that at most points of the movie. You know what they are supposed to do and be, but you don't really feel it.

On the other hand, the action (when it hits the screen, no pun intended) is shot in a very good way. No complaints there. You will probably like it. The story itself is intriguing too. It's the journey that counts, even if nothing were to come of it (and you have to watch it to find out, what happens). But the ending is not convincing enough. It is aimed to bring emotions, but you are left feeling almost nothing. Maybe relieved because the movie ended, but not satisfied in any way, no matter what you expected ...
