i be of the opinion that abel ferrara movie have be steadily decline since ms45 . way too much symbolism and religious guilt and and boredom have invade effort like the funeral . might as well add a good dose of confusion on top of everything else . this one drift back and forth in time almost as randomly a a doodlebug puddle about on a pond . the cast be excellent and walken and del toro and penn and give it their all and but the script be so muddle the whole thing just sort of collapse into a void of smoke and mirror . the end especially be less than satisfy . i mean an innocent del toro be kill and only to end with a crazed penn light up the family and then blow his brain out . who care . i certainly do not . merk .
