Whilst the third world war rages on in the Middle East, and neo-cons and neo-Marxists do battle for what remains of post-nuke California, an amnesiac film star, a porn actress turned talk show host, and a shell-shocked police officer play their parts in the imminent apocalypse, in Kelly’s occasionally exhilarating though generally uninvolving and often merely self-indulgent and messy film.
