The writer of the ending battle must die

Rating: 6/10 (18 July 2008)

Let's be honest. This movie is a great promise. The end blows it.
The rhythm of the story is too fast paced, there are too many things to say, too many paradoxes to reveal and philosophic topics to talk about.
With 30 minutes more, this would be a perfect movie but for the end. What was that. Give the main guy superpowers so he can destroy everything. Too cheap. Well shown as all the movie, but i think there were tons of clever ways to end the movie not resorting to superpowers.
In a movie where every line of dialog counts, that ending is a fatal wound that leaves the audience confused with the way everything unfolds. The ending of the characters is nice, perfect too, but not the way they get it.
As much as i love Proyas, The Crow was a more solid movie. Still i think this movie will be remember as the kind of cinema artists should try to do, even if you fail, at least try.
