Dismal (literally) - Zeros and Ones review by Alphaville
The clue’s at the beginning, before the opening credits. Star Ethan Hawke appears in person to tell us what a great film it is. Nice try, Ethan. He appears again at the end, totally bemused, to say that was a promo and that he didn’t understand a word of the script. He took the part only because of writer/director Abel Ferrara, who’s made some interesting if not always convincing films in the past (eg The Bad Lieutenant). Ethan probably now wishes he’d stayed well away.
It’s such amateurish nonsense you’ll probably give up on it before any of it makes sense… if it ever does. Technically, it’s filmed in darkness with a handheld camera and mostly in close-up (‘guerrilla filmmaking’). In other words, there’s nothing interesting either to see or to hear.
Have a laugh at Ethan’s performance on the trailer and don’t be fooled by the exciting music.

You don't need to eat the whole steak to know that it's tough - Zeros and Ones review by MD
I didn't understand any of it. The movie jumps from one scene to another and none of it follows or makes any sense. Maybe it's just me. I watched about 3/4 of it before I fell by the wayside. It wasn't a pleasant thing to see, whatever it was.

No subtitles - Zeros and Ones review by GS
No subtitles - yet again. It was difficult to follow as it was but without subtitles, impossible. Abandoned. A waste of a rental.
