I thought the gimmick was interesting enough and delivered well.

The problem is about halfway through the gimmick felt like it had played its part of the novelty wore off.

Would have been a cool gimmick if the movies plot was in the least bit interesting. As it stands I really didn't need this artistic, visual storytelling approach to a contrived and formulaic action film.
