totally agree. really wanted to like it, found myself strangely engrossed and ultimately entirely unmoved. what a wasted effort.

Whoever compared this to Taxi Driver should have to spend a few days with nancy pelosi's MS13 buddies

Quote of the year right here!

Those angelic MS13 guys will set him straight

I turned it off after about a half hour. It was interesting at first, but it started to feel pointless and plodding after awhile. I thought the concept was interesting, but the execution was iffy and Rollins was just kind of flat. He really isn't very dynamic as an actor. I know it was supposed to be darkly humorous, but it just felt uneven.

Rollins?

I liked it, maybe cause I saw it in the theatre, and Taxi Driver and Mean Streets are two of my favourites. This movie had a great soundtrack, and the scene where he holds the hand of the guy in the kitchen when dying was tangible and very original in a realistic way. This was a far cry from a typical Hollywood action thriller these days, it definitely had traits of Marty or Shrader

Well... directed by a woman.

It's ultimately pointless. No plot whatever. Just a series of ugly events that doesn't even lead to a conclusion.

I gave it a pass mark only because it has some good cinematography and Phoenix makes the most of his, by now trademark, lunatic character.

Art for art's sake post modern garbage.
