1/10
Started mediocre (5 stars) with Decent cinematography and music, by halfway the stars were dropping like flies. 1 Star. Garbage!

Warning: Spoilers
As stated it started watchable enough with decent cinematography and music. Some decent dream like effects. Then another. Then another. The dialogue was a joke. Not a funny joke. A joke of a film. The beginning music and camera work was about a 5, then the nonsense dialogue, the comic taxi driver, the joke of a consulate worker character, 4 stars, more nonsense dialogue, 3 stars, then I gave up, this is a 1 star film. To watch this movie just to get a glimpse of some decent film making is too much work.

The packing is slow. The dialogue is boring and long. Everything is spelled out. Perkins' accent is the biggest joke. At one point our heroin and her taxi driver pass a police officer while they are carrying gas cans! Nice job. Maybe they should have made this a full on comedy. The makeup on Perkins face was a mess.

There were at least 2 scenes of tourist buses with tourists touring. Maybe this could have been promoted as a tourist film.

The acting was OK at best, more mediocre. As mentioned the dialogue was a horror, not in a good way.

The only way I can recommend this is if your getting drunk and laughing at the movie.

1 star, for effort.
