Southland Tales- WTF?

From the mind of Richard Kelly, who messed with our minds through the interesting Donnie Darko, a schizophrenic display of an alternate dystopian future where Big Brother is king and everything else is 100% confusing. From beginning to end, it's clear that Kelly is trying to tell the audience something about life, death, and the in-between but unfortunately none of this comes to the forefront and instead we're made victim to choppy characters within a society that can never decide what it truly is. The only good thing about this film are the performances from Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Sarah Michelle Gellar- TV relics who remind us, every time they act, of why we enjoyed them in the first place. However, this will never be enough to accept the disjointed dream vomit served to us on a broken plate known as Southland Tales.
