Rubber


Ok, so judge a book by its cover.  Looks like the star of the film is a rubber tire.  A rubber tire that has psychokinetic powers and rolls around the desert landscape making things blow up with its "mind".  The film aims to be one of those "break the rules" movies and pokes fun at the whole essence of movies and the audience participating in the experience.  There are some nicely framed sequences of the tire rolling around without any human intervention.  The film establishes an intriguing thesis, but the details soon start to bore you.  Maybe it's a statement?  Maybe it's entertainment?  Maybe this isn't for everyone.

3/10 - The movie rolls along too slowly and comes off as annoyingly proud that it is absurd.  Maybe a few decades from now we'll look back on this with fondness for its irony.
