Love the premise and dug the first 50-minutes or so but really fell off the rest of the way, especially the final 20 minutes. Liked the cast with Walken at his Walkeny best, Dafoe and Argento but the story just didn't come together that well. I know the name Abel Ferrara but this is the first film I've seen of his. That said, I loved his style. Of course, probably not the best film to watch late at night. **2.0/5**
