watch the director cut last night . glad it be free rental and even a dollar would have be too much for me to pay to watch this attempt at film noir . the anachronism ( modern telephone ) be annoy to me and not clever and seem more like budget constraint than anything else . the non traditional casting i also find distract . if i have to stop follow the story to wonder what the heck be the black chick or drag queen do there . then the storyteller have fail me . again and not clever in my opinion but annoy and irritate and and very film school final project ish . and for pete sake if you be go to shoot in black and white at least use some of the technique use in old film that take full advantage of not have color . there be no use of nuance in the lighting and no shade of gray and no depth and no texture . just black and just white . boring .
