I agree fully with what Albert posted.

The film was bad. They took the one maybe a bit compelling story of the Japanese girl and mangled it with heavy handed clever stunts. I know she's deaf, I get it. Having a montage of the inside of a club with no sound gives me the distinct impression the director thought I was too stupid to figure out that deaf means "doesn't hear stuff". It's the film equivalent of Stephen King's trademark adjective eruptions only more pretentious.

Kind of like your post really.
