Enrapturing and thrilling

Rating: 9/10 (5 October 2014)

As soon as I heard the first monologue at the beginning of the movie, I knew it was gonna be awesome. And it was everything you might want from a thriller.
I am not about to spoil anything, so I will keep this short. The characters were done very well and the acting was superb, even from the supporting actors. I've always enjoyed movies with Ben Affleck but I must say he really shone in this one. The plot has enough twists to make your head hurt with trying to catch up and the way the movie is structured is interesting and serves its purpose well.
If you are wary of the rather intimidating length of the movie (2.5 h might seem a bit long for some), do not fret. When the credits roll, you will be sitting there surprised it passed so soon.
The only drawback I found in the movie was the ending itself. I felt it did not do justice to the overall plot and the development of characters. I needed something more and felt slightly disappointed.
Overall, this is an amazing psychological thriller and a must see for everyone who is fond of this genre.
