The acting and cinematography in this film (as well as your review) are excellent, but the whole thesis and its development are so far-fetched that you can feel the desperation of the screenwriter(s) as they try to make the film interesting, believable, and relevant in some way. I find little redeeming qualities in this film (other than the implicit cult bashing) whose ending, beginning with the ridiculous cheeseburger sequence, and I won’t provide any more spoilers, is patently absurd. Anyone looking for mindless entertainment and gratuitous violence, this film is for you.
