    Continental: A Film Without Guns, May 18, 2008

    By Jeff Cavanaugh

    “Maybe some guns would've made this a bit more interesting. This was very dark, very strange, and the few black comic bits were far overshadowed by the pathetic attempts made by the main characters to connect with one another. Other than the twisted voyeurism scene, this was a bit of a snoozer.”
