yeah, I guess this is not a movie for those who just need to chill out. In fact, this meets the mccluhan definition of cool media, i.e. one that requires you to work to interpret it. sort of like life.

so, take a combination of rashomon, memento, and your favorite film noir set in southeast asia and there you have it. confusing at first, but you begin to follow it more as you accumulate information.

there's a slight "twist ending" which isn't really necessary; besides, I saw it coming a mile away.

btw: (possible spoiler):

one of the possible signs of a good movie: you can't count on all the protagonists making it out alive.
