9 stars or 10 stars? What the heck - I give it 10.

Rating: 10/10 (5 October 2014)

I was hovering over the 9 mark rather than the 10 just because there were a couple of plot holes that I had spotted but I thought, what the heck, its not every day you get to have 150 minutes of unmitigated suspense AND a sight (or two) of Rosamund Pike's bum (presuming it wasn't a body double in those scenes). With so much dreck being wheeled out - we got stuck with a couple of turkeys in as many weeks - it is a delight to be in an audience that leaves an auditorium where they have been greatly entertained.
A first class thriller which has you talking about it hours after viewing. Clever. Very clever. No more to be said.
