Thoughts
Mm, couldn't get past the twenty minute rule on this one. We flicked between lots of different characters without really getting a good sense of who they are and how they relate to each other, somehow there was a lot of scenes but the story didn't progress at all, and more than anything, the main guy just didn't seem sympathetic at all so I didn't care what was going to happen upon his homecoming. Pass.
