This movie was all about a novel (for current day, at least) idea: do a film with effectively no dialog. And it started off strong! The first twenty minutes or so worked well, but then it began to feel like a gimmick. And as more time went on, it just became annoying, because there were lots of places that there SHOULD have been dialog (by other characters) and the lack of it felt very artificial and frustrating. The action was good once it started, but that didn't happen until fairly late in the film. The film gets some points for the attempt and the solid (once it finally started) action at the end, but it could have been a better film without the gimmick.
