 Rating:  - This movie divides by zeroI put this movie on my blockbuster online queue and then waited a year for it to arrive, but it was well worth the wait.

Must admit that I love Lucy Liu, but this is at least a must rent for anyone who likes movies with twists... Rating:  - I Don't Get ItThis picture is very interesting to look at -- some of the images may remind you of "Metropolis", or even "Brazil" - others may remind you of "Edward Scissorhands". Honestly, however, the visuals were not enough to keep me interested in this strange and convoluted tale.
