A murky masterpiece that turns your world upside down

Rating: 9/10 (16 April 2019)

The title of the movie indeed suggests either some superhero flick or a fantasy mixed with eerie components and incidentally there is a partial truth in this statement.
This is one of the earliest works for Jake Gyllenhaal, when he was trying to pick up his style that up to this moment is varying and tempestuous like an ocean in the storm. The shtick of this performance was a stupefied look preceding a wicked smile before the trouble. In fact, it is tailored so good that the emotions slip onto the viewers face creating a sense of a mischief coming alive.
Up to this point I have seen a lot of plot twists and mind-bending stories but this deserves a place in the front row of a puzzling movie family photo. The rug of event is being weaved so skillfully only to show that in the end it is not what you have expected and you get a cool sweater instead of the floor covering item.
Waking up from this dream I still cannot believe what I saw: convoluted dark thoughts of the writer crawled on the screen and shocked the audience leaving a heavy Imprint in the memory. The film is definitely worth watching and despite its darkness shines like a lighthouse in the night.
