It was as if it were produced, written, and directed by aliens from outer space. There must have been a sale on green scrubs, because so many characters wear them. Multiple unrelated killers and ill-timed dream sequences make this wonderfully confusing. If it wasn't such trash it might be considered high art. I'll consider it as such.
