CGiii Comment

It's basically filmed in one poorly lit room.

There are a handful of outdoor shots - all done with a handheld camera and very few edits - which means the camera goes all over the place with dizzying effect (that's not a compliment).

The subtitles are crap - which is probably a reflection of the film.

Unwatchable rubbish.
