Very intriguing.
Highly unusual!
From my limited experience, this was in a whole separate realm.
i bet the reason it received lower reviews is because it's very very different.
Looking back at it, the film is like Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction".
So many interwoven plots, that we, the audience, have the opportunity to see later from a different perspective, as to how it all fit together.
Very intense, but it takes a while to develop. In this entourage, you have to give it time to suck you in.
The ending does leave one hanging as to many of these peoples lives, hoping things work out for them, but that's my optimistic side coming in.
Granted, the individual triumphs, but not personally, but the machine has been thwarted.
