The film's a swell way of torturing yourself for 108 minutes.

Intriguing and stylish.
The story is bound together with gaming set pieces that are strange, inventive and mesmerizing.

Philadelphia Inquirer by Steven Rea
Intriguing, provocative stuff.
The movie pits fortune against destiny and has an enigmatic old time splitting the difference.
