Im giving this film a 6 for Brad Pitt's performance.
This film is a brilliant example of muddling dialogue with plot, and in return, getting nothing but a cheap "drug deal went wrong" film.
Poetic? No. The film relies on the characters telling you stories of their past, to try and confuse you, or give a sense of realism. It fails to do both, yet leaves you wondering why your not skipping to the Brad Pitt scenes. This film is not your typical drug film, its actually worse. Its about a rich Councillor. Who for some reason, wants even more money to have a comfortable life for his new fiancée.
Bottom line..If you like films that do that confusing thing about telling you nothing of the story, yet just throw random scenes together with a bit of music from a library of "drug movie music stuff" then go ahead, sit back, and wait for brad pitt to enter the screen. Because everybody else is awful.
