Absolutely brilliant!

Rating: 8/10 (21 January 2008)

Going into this film I had already looked at reviews on IMDb and saw it had received surprisingly high ratings. To be honest I went into this movie with low expectations. I saw the preview and thought that it would be entertaining but the first person camera style would be too distracting from the actual movie. DEAD WRONG! The filming, however shaky, puts you in the movie. Halfway into the movie I had to remind myself that I was in a theater and not being ravaged by a horrible monster in New York. And after I heard that there was something at the end of the credits I had to go back to the theater and watch it a second time. Although I already knew what was going to happen next, I still found myself right alongside with the main characters in the movie. Last year, I saw at least 60 movies and I don't remember coming out of a movie as satisfied as I did with this one. I highly recommend this movie to everyone.
