And you've just summed up what most people complained about. Well, that and the fact that fans are insulted -suggesting "grinding hectic emptiness" defines a genre really doesn't say much about the fans of said genre:P.
O'Hehir's review was critiqued more because he was really discussing the genre, not the movie and that he was approaching it from a elitist perspective. If memory serves he said he probably should go back to reviewing movies about Lesbian Sheep herders (I'll find the review)
