It was released last year in my area. The very hard thing to do with this kind of mystery based plot where a number of things you don't understand happen and you and the main character are trying to connect the dots, is to find the right balance. Too obvious and its bland, too complicated and the viewer looses hope of making sense of what is on screen, making it frustrating and boring since you are no longer engaged. This film had some good things in it and could have been great, but sadly it does not manage to walk the tight rope and falls heavily in the "too much wtf, so who cares?" category.
