6/10
Entertaining, but disappointing

I did enjoy the movie but I did leave it feeling irritated. I'm not sure the point of building up to all that drama just to end the movie like that - its pretty lousy.

What you have is a completely socially ambivalent human who has and seeks no purpose and the movie seems to go to great lengths to make us, the audience, root for the kid but then he starts to devolve into ... well what?

I'm not one to feel that a film needs to wrap everything up in a nice bow for you but in this case I left with questions that nullify a lot of my enjoyment of the movie. Obviously the kid has issues but he kills a guy - is it full blown mental illness or is he just self-involved to the Nth degree?

And what is the deal with a 3.5 minute scene of a guy eating spaghetti? Is he that bored? Is he going mad?

I just felt the movie could have capatilized better on all the tension it built and instead it just sorta ended, I thought it was a shame.
