9/10
Really enjoyed

I found this to be different and quirky and thoroughly enjoyable. I went into it knowing almost nothing about it and don't want to spoil the fun for anyone else. Very simple plot line....a seemingly low key "yes man" goes out for an out of character drink after work with his friends and has the strangest night of his life.

Very well acted. Some of the characters were obviously well thought out and exceptionally well played, which made the movie a lot of fun.

I have not really seen anything quite like it, and originality is hard to come by in this day of remakes and plot rehashes.

It may not be for everyone with some of the darker themes, but I truly enjoy some ambiguity and mayhem and chaos thrown into my movies.

There are some very obvious moments, but also some vagueness and some twists, humor, wit and wonderful sarcasm thrown in with mystery and intrigue, a touch of violence and gore, a pinch of sex and sexual tension tied up with a bow of romance.
