This movie is not for everyone. And probably not for me either. I am even having hard time to define its genre. Something between a mystery, thriller and mind game experience with an allusion to "Jonah and the whale" biblical story.

While the movie is done quite masterfully (including directing, acting, and cinematography), the main idea was unclear to me. Was it that a man feels boxed and not free? And that some kind of transformation is required to free himself?
While I did enjoy watching most of the movie, the overall lasting impression was far from great.
That presents some kind of a challenge to rate it. Professionally the movie deserves at least 8 but my overall score would be no more than 5. It is very subjective, of course.… Expand

This is one of those films, you won't properly get the notion. Too random, surreal, but at the end somehow all connects. The narration has multiple layers, that's what confusing at the initial stage. Though I liked the character nicknamed, 'the last free man'. If I had watched this film successfully means, that's the main reason. But I felt they have under-used it or missed a great opportunity. Because it was a wonderful film character. Tens of stories can be created using such role. But why did they go for a dry story. In my opinion, it should have been in the line of 'Captain Fantastic'.

Rami was okay. He did justify the role he had played. But not like a performance of the year. I understand why this film was very dark, and partially being a dark comedy. The overall storyline looked good. The man with ambition, and to meet that end, he had dedicated his life. But he did not know what he's becoming. It was like 'Split' meets 'Bad Santa'. From all, the boat scenes were a bit of out of context. Yet it brought distinct perspective to the character who was struggling with reality. A film for a few selected people. I feel bad for rating it such low, but I'm only being honest.
