Sci-fi meets Coppola's Harry Caul of "The Conversation"
A very good sci-fi concept, poorly executed. As the film begins, you are reminded of Harry Caul of Coppola's "The Conversation," which was brilliantly played by Gene Hackman.
This film cannot boast of a Hackman or a John Cazale.
You have a dead father being cremated but we are never told how he died.
Secondary characters like Aloys' childhood classmate are never fleshed out. The concept of a drunk Aloy being locked up in a bus does not ring true. It appears he had urinated in his trousers in one shot. In a later shot, there is no such evidence.
All in all it is a film that had so much potential that fails to deliver.
