Woo hoo hoo! This looks good. Although you do realize the protagonist in this movie is slated for a sticky end -- the first shot of the movie (which I saw in that first 8 minutes that got posted) is a close-up on some terrified eyes. I have no doubt they're his, having finally attained the realization he sought.
