Fascinating but a struggle to put the pieces in place

Rating: 8/10 (17 October 2002)

As an IQ test on this film I rated in the low 70's. I was fascinated by the its puzzle which I struggled to put together as we went on. I must admit I was in and out of the room some and of any film I have seen you need to see every scene and hear every word to have a chance. The characters were so subtly odd that I did not pick up that this was a trend (except the teacher who hated Greene...the character was out to lunch). By the end I had possibly 65%! But the film was audacious in concept and well executed. All the acting was good but even the cast selection was bewildering...well known actors in back up roles and actors not known in the lead roles. Very, very interesting.
