As much as it tries to be a smart, postmodern indie film, dot the i is pure Hollywood fluff.

Parkhill tries to keep new blood pulsing through the film, but the movie stalls by its third act, where he plays a trick that seems more desperate than fresh.
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press
Rotten
Take a long, hard look at Parkhill's film, and you'll find too many i's undotted.
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle
Rotten
While stylishly done, Parkhill's script isn't nearly as clever as he thinks it is, and the sucker punch near the end lacks, well, punch.
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Rotten
Inflicts great pain on the audience by wringing its plot into a bruised and pulpy mass.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
