Ensemble cast trade snarky remarks amongst themselves, and there’s a giant crocodile in the lake somewhere.
-
What can you say about a Charlie Kaufman script?
-
Aren’t air traffic controllers wacky?

Alternates between horror and comedy. Should have made up their mind and cut in the horror bits.

Surprisingly introspective plot about oil pipelines in Asia Minor countries.
