it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
