The angle of the shots and the sound quality rendering parts of the dialog undecipherable becomes a steadily increasing distraction. Also, the unavailabilityof captions on the DVD format is a definite fault in what might beotherwise a rather enjoyable film. Also, the jacket of the DVD version considers this humorous; hardly an accurate description! one would be puzzled, too, about the interjection oftitles/descriptions of things about to happen. It is reminiscent of the 60's "Tom Jones." Perhaps this was an attempt to be funny, but with overall humor lacking, it morphs only into a cheap gimmick. There were some real possibilities for this film, but it seems the directing and editing missed them at nearly every possibility.
