Maybe it's just my mood right now, but it just feels so.. off.

It might be the most nihilistic film I've seen in a while.
Nothing meant anything.
Every plot was a
cul de sac.
Every build up of suspense was subsequently punctured and fizzled off into space like tired balloon.
There was just enough visual spectacle to qualify as a diversion if you put no thought into it. But if you thought about it at all, it seemed to be explicitly challenging you 'Why are you enjoying this? What's the point?'
