Scott, NYTimes Critic's Pick "In the end, its many swirling parts unite around a remarkably coherent purpose: to provide a rare and dazzling showcase for a megawatt performer who scowls, gasps, punches, kicks, leaps, flips, soars and finally transcends."—Justin Chang, L.A.

Berserk violence, scrambled identities, a thunderous industrial soundtrack, and one of cinema’s most memorable Mystery Men (Robert Blake)—Lynch swirls it all into a screeching psychological manifestation of guilt, trauma, and denial that ranks among his most potent cinematic nightmares.
