Amazing performance by senior statesmen, Asner and Goodman, beautiful cinematography, ace soundtrack, complex storyline is refreshingly original, and quite simple upon reflection.

Why can't this get the 0 it deserves?

Quirky, thought-provoking and refreshingly un-hollywood.
posted by NYC girl on Apr 05, 2009I enjoyed this quirky film. Good performances and loved the dialogue. I was unable to explain the homeless man attacking our main man..it was never explained. Or maybe I didn't get that part.
posted by Raygunnn on Aug 30, 2009I do not understand the homeless man, or why he tried to hide the fact this man was attacking him. I like the movie, except for this major piece of the plot that is completely unexplained and I can find no apparent symbolism or hidden motive whatsoever.
