Pleasantly surprised

Rating: 8/10 (22 February 2017)

I had this movie recorded on my sky box for several weeks before I got around to watching it. I wish i hadn't waited so long! What a fantastic piece of cinema. I should of noticed the words "Danny Boyle" a bit sooner.
The scene when Franco's character starts to cut through a live nerve has stayed with me for days now. A clever use of chilling audio to really drive home the pain that one must feel and combined with Franco's fantastic acting, you really do believe he's just done the unthinkable.
If you are tempted to pass this movie based on a predictable plot I would urge you to reconsider if only to experience the awesome filming, camera angles and direction.
