"Kaboom" (2010)



This movie tells the story of Smith (Thomas Dekker), an 18-year-old film student who is bisexual and has a ravenous erotic appetite; his best friend is Stella (Haley Bennett), who prefers the company of women but is just as enthusiastic about pursuing new lovers. Smith has been haunted by a series of recurring dreams featuring two beautiful women, one dark and enigmatic, the other similarly spectral with flaming red hair. This wouldn't bother him, except that the women from his dreams have begun appearing in real life - Lorelei (Roxane Mesquida), Stella's new partner, is a magic aficionado who's a dead ringer for the dark-haired woman, and the red-haired girl (Nicole LaLiberte) is being pursued by a gang of masked assassins. 

For me, this film doesn't have a sense of purpose and the scenes aren't quite connected to each other so it gets a bit confused sometimes. The script lacks focus, the directing is clumsy and it's not absolutely categorized since it's not as funny as a hipster comedy nor intriguing enough for a mystery as it wants to be.

I'll give it 5 out of 10 stars.
