Review: This was my first Jim Jarmush experience. This film had some absolutely brilliant moments, but on a whole was incredibly dull. The movie is dragged on seemingly endlessly with nothing happening at all. Despite having a brilliant cast this film has some of the worst acting I've seen. Pivotal death scenes are played out utterly emotionless by the actors. Perhaps this was intentionally done for irony, or some such nonsense, but it was completely lost on me. None the less, I do appreciate the journey and transformation of the character, and there are a few scenes that make the watch worth it. If you have a great attention span I can recommend this movie, but if your easily bored you will end up asleep.
