The last thing washed-up jazz musician Nate Pool (Mickey Rourke) wanted to do was betray sinister gangster Happy Shannon (Bill Murray). But it may be the last thing he does unless he can deliver Lily (Megan Fox), a beautiful and mysterious carnival sideshow attraction. The stakes can't get any higher for the two lovers as they try to elude the merciless killer who will stop at nothing to keep Lily for himself. (official distributor synopsis)

I expected a much more contradictory spectacle, but in the end the positive impressions prevail, and quite strongly at that. I'll definitely watch Passion Play again soon - then (when I know what happens) I'll either discover a lot of new things, double meanings, and notice a lot of things I didn't notice the first time, or I'll see the light and think that it's all just overly simple gibberish. Anyway - I really liked Mickey Rourke in an atypical role for him, as well as Bill Murray, but a huge plus was Megan Fox, who also seemed really beautiful to me for the first time. The magical atmosphere is complemented by the delicately sensitive music, the whole film had an extremely calming and warm impression on me, which is something I don't often see lately.
