Fundamentally-bizarre hybrid of identity politics, Chaos Theory and religious karma that simply does not work. The standard Hollywood nonsense of claiming personal empowerment comes through becoming an assassin is taken to its absurd limit. (Obviously, a Fraternity of pacifists would make poor viewing!)
It starts well with an anonymous accountant reminding us our own ordinary, mundane jobs. It eventually reveals, however, an anger toward its own audience that must surely alienate them from it. It openly criticizes them for watching films like this rather than getting to know who they are and, in so doing, achieving their full potential.
Very good actors are wasted with characters that make little sense and a plot that desperately seeks new ways to stylishly show the destruction of human flesh through semi automatic gunfire.
