This film was let down by the cinematography, plain & simple. The film is purposely shot under-exposed for effect, with the low light & night scenes totally disappearing into the shadows on my TV, resulting in audio only. This is most unfortunate, as the story, script, and acting deserve so much more. This is an interesting, quirky little movie that could've been so much more. Also, the film's aspect ratio was needlessly shortened down for what reason I do not know. I was surprised as well to see so many heavy-weight actors attached to this movie, all the more reason the producers should've brought on a qualified cinematographer that would've served the greater whole. Too bad. This movie could've been so much more.
