IMHO REVIEW :
been meaning to watch this movie for awhile (it kept getting pushed down in my netflix que) but saw it today!

and sadly the movie is a better concept then a movie. concept - four independent cameras following four characters in one continuous shot. the basic script / story is there but the actors have to improvise the scene - in this case one long scene.

great idea - but it just didn't come off. because of the improv of all scenes it seemed like there really wasn't a flow to the movie. it seemed more like a bunch of noise then a well orchistrated interweaving of stories. the random earthquake thingy where it looked like they just shook the camera... kinda lame.

also they had random characters which didn't seem to fit in. some characters seemed serious - coke using, moody producer, then they had random comical characters - a massuse who basically looked like he didn't know what he was doing massaging random actors - fluffing up their hair.

bottom line - don't waste your time
