  • The acting teacher and calling the disguised killer the Indian are criticized.
  • The conspicuous absence of drug use in the adult-film setting feels implausibly chaste.
  • Jake revealing the truth before sex with Holly is questioned, though his loser characterization offers an explanation.
  • Jake’s coffee-drinking manner and Wasson’s difficult screen presence may limit the film’s appeal, alongside its challenging surreal satire.
  • Sam’s needlessly complex murder plot and releasing the film against The Terminator are criticized.
