What makes it different from others?

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Blistering performances.

Keanu Reeves, Mira Sorvino, a gorgeous Anna De Armas...what can go wrong? Disjointed execution of the plot and withholding evidence from the viewers until the end of the film. *spoiler alert* We never know why Detective Galban (Keanu) has an interest in Isabel (Anna) until we see the wedding ring and shoe heel evidence recovered from the first murder crime scene, with about 10min left in the movie. Isabel is a pleasure to look at, so lovely, clean and faithful and I was never bored when she was on screen. Galban on the other hand was a lead weight, bumbling his way through both his investigation, personal life, and sex with Sorvino. Mira Sorvino injected a little life into the non-latin side of the film, but suffered from acting opposite Keanu and dull film quality. There was some street gang interactions and murders that made little to no sense. The ending rounds things out relatively well as we learn of the rapes and incest that let to multiple murders, but it's a painful road for the viewer to get that far.

Apart from the fact Keanu looked bored out of his skull in this actual disaster (or is that he looks that way in all his films now?), he actually has moved into production as he produced it - oh dear!!!All of the acting was wooden and laboured (no change for Keanu there then) and especially the eyebrow actress and i used the term loosely of Ana De Armas who has already proved many times that she quite simply couldn't act her way out of a paper bag but presumably as she is so attractive that is what counts as talent these days - how sad for the industry.And what is it these days with the subtitles and putting half the movie in a foreign language ie Spanish??? It isn't arty, it doesn't add anything to the movie; in fact it actually detracts from the movie as not everyone is literate these days or can keep up with subtitles.What I would like to know is why did they insert the red and white characters from Hunger Games lol as....presumably Angels; I say presumably because the whole story is complete unfathomable and the narrative is so disconnected its quite hard not to get bored and loose attention.This is by far the worst film I have seen since the worst movie this year in which Keanu also played one of his weirdest roles , the utterly dire BAD BATCH - one of the worst film I have ever seen and an exercise in artsy fartsy pseudo intellectual clap trap that some people actually bought into going by their reviews! This film, whilst not as bad is just as inexplicable and tries too hard to be mysteriously artsy fartsy.The original title was "Daughter Of God" i believe - no wonder they changed it!

Given a stylish look by cinematographer Trevor Frost - along with a pensively down beat pace by New York born writer/director Gee Malik Linton, this movie seems at odds with itself. Linton disowned the finished picture following heavy editing alterations by the distributor. It seems we may never know who committed the biggest crime - the distributor, writer or director? Whoever it was nothing was gained, as it lost out big time. Lovely Cuban born Ana De Armas works hard in her difficult role of delusional child-care worker - with Keanu Reeves suitably restrained as a tough detective investigating his partners hidden past and brutal death.There are some genuinely intriguing moments (even haunting) but as the story unfolds it all becomes just too ugly. There's also far too many nasty sub-plots (all running simultaneously) to allow the average viewer to generate a great deal of focused interest. Would it have been any better if not interfered with? difficult to say but somehow, with one too many convoluted situations I don't assume so.Talented Cuban composer Carlos Jose Alvarez creates an evocative mood by using a female voice performing a mystical song without words, nice.Overall: If your taste runs towards confusing plot lines that may (or may not) all fall into place it might hold your interest - otherwise, unpleasant and ultimately disappointing.

This movie had not-so-great reviews, but I had a couple hours and I loved Keanu Reeves as a teenager. So I gave it a chance.It was a bit slow in spots, but it gained momentum and revealed itself to be quite beautiful. I don't want to reveal anything, so I can't really say why it's so amazing.Just watch it. Stay until the end. I hope you'll give it a chance.
