Truly a waste of 2+ hours. I am into noir both original and neo, so wanted to give this a chance, hoping that it eventually would lead to something, but it is just a string of film homages or incidentals, but no explainable plot link to the varied topics of dog killer, owl kisser, coyote, king of the homeless, the musical group, escort service, nor the "messages", just lame juxtapositions that explain nothing. Just T and A with former Spiderman for "validity"
