watching it right now...I it's kinda weird but very good at the same time.
 
I didn't like it. The whole "hey, let's screw around with the timeline and switch between three stories a lot!" gimmick got really annoying, especially since they ALWAYS cut to the other stories at the wrong time. Plus, the ending is totally non-believable, even if it is "touching." It was kind of cool how the stories inter-connected, but considering it's the THIRD TIME the director has done that with his movies, yeah, you get my point.
 
I appreciate the movie for its multinationality, though, not something you often see in western films.
 
I liked it mostly becuase of the hawt deff chick.

Every director has something that makes them tick. In this case, it's multiple storylines.

Amazing movie.

Yeah, it's been done before.

Agreed, but this guy is a Tarantino ripoff.
 
He's not a Tarantino ripoff, he really doesn't ripoff anything. He's just really formuliac and gimmicky.
 
Just saw it, was a fantastic film! Not quite as brilliant as 21 Grams, but close. :)

I also liked the guitar at the end, a nice link to the music at the end of 21 Grams. Could've done without the horny 12 year old at the beginning though. :x
