The movie was a mixed bag.
In terms of cast, the film had stellar performances from Al Pacino and Charlize Theron. However, the protagonist Keanu Reeves was his usual expressionless self. Perhaps an actor with more ability to display histrionics might have been a better fit?
Also, the entire concept of the entire film being kind of a thought process of the protagonist was incomprehensible, at least to me. There was no 'Aha!' moment at the end when we discover that the entire movie was actually played out in the mind of Reeves. In fact, I found it mildly disappointing that Milton, essayed by Pacino was actually a figment of Reeves' imagination.
One thing that can be said for the movie though is that there never was a dull moment.
Worth a watch for the performances.
