Loaded with Alice references and quotes - but the only similarities in common with the classic tale is the theme of madness, which in this case was taken and ran with. This movie is decibel lit more style than substance, and curiosity will keep you moving through it despite the badly drawn plot. Characters did their best with what they were given.. Style over substance. It was just my style, really, if only there was more, anything more, to go on.

style over substance
stylish but mediocre
Despite some excellent acting performances this film didn't do much for me. I felt like it was trying too hard to be too many things.
Using a mixture of various film makers styles it just didn't seem to provide anything fresh. The story telling method used too many twists to work successfully. If stylish visuals and multi layered stories are your main thing then give it a go. Otherwise you may find some of the negative comments and low scores this film has attracted to be justified.
My rating 5/10
I like loyalty I can buy.
Nothing like a noire (feminine "e' intentional) film in a surreal setting. Much of the action intersects at the "End Of the Line" diner in the Terminal. Annie (Margot Robbie) is a waitress there and also a pole dancer. We see her in the opening in a confessional with shades of "Prom Night 2". She wants to be a hitman and the only hitman to work for Mr. Franklyn. To do this, she must dispose of a few people, the manner of which is most of the feature. There is a twist at the end, which I suspected, but the clues were minor. Also at the end we get the back story to what we just witnessed. There were clues for that too, but you would of had to know the backstory to recognize the clues.
The film includes metaphoric dialogue. "Terminal" itself has two meanings. Margot Robbie continues with her over sexed bad girl image, a Sheri Moon Zombie with class and style. This film is certainly not for everyone. I loved the neon light sets.
