2011101 min5.3 / 10

A high-stakes noir thriller that escalates from a missing-person case into a metaphysical mystery involving particle physics and cosmic truth, blending street-level crime with existential ambition.

A private detective is hired to find a missing stripper but the job turns complicated when everyone he questions ends up dead. From the mean streets of Los Angeles to the desolate desert of New Mexico, Cruz must contend with a brutal Russian Boxer, three brash LAPD detectives, an aged billionaire looking for the Big Bang, and the billionaire's stunningly gorgeous wife. The solution to the mystery will cost ten lives, net $30 million and just might explain - well - everything.
