Wow, just caught this movie from Blockbuster and I love finding gems like this.
While it was definitely shot on a budget and misses a little bit in clumsy editing (i.e. accident, hospital scenes, second to last end scenes), for a first directorial effort, I give this 10 stars! I absolutely loved the thought provoking concepts brought forth and if you're a free thinker and open to ideas outside the box, I highly, highly recommend this movie.
I think the director and writer, Jay Roach, should be given some attention and more opportunities in the film industry. Based on his credits, he may be another Quentin Tarantino.
