I actually liked the script, except for the whole portals scene and the NSA thugs along with the NASA bosses in somewhat cahoots. Too many loose ends to be believable IRL, still a great sci-fi adaptation of the classic greed is evil concept. Still, you know some goody two shoes, somewhere, must have foregone pushing the button. It was a good thinking film though. Great review, H-Man.

I think you need to see this a few times to get your head around it. As Kelly said in an interview
""I wanted to make a film that knocks you for a loop and leaves you with your head spinning, but sticks in your mind and leaves you wanting to revisit it and experience it again to search for more clarity""

I know what you mean by her accent, but no, it didn't bother me. Kelly based the character on his mother, and his mother is from Texas and does speak with a slight drawl, so… Although I did like this film, I'm starting to fear that Kelly may be a one trick pony. And yes, "Domino" was a horrible, unwatchable film, but I blame Tony Scott's over-the-top, obnoxious music video-style of directing more than Kelly's script.

You weren't at all bothered by Diaz' slow, drawling delivery of her dialogue? I think it's because I love Donnie Darko so much that I hold Richard Kelly to a higher standard, but he's proving Darko to be more and more of a fluke with every new project he takes on, starting with his script for Domino, and ending up here.
