Too far

Rating: 7/10 (9 December 2016)

There was a point at which I thought, "This movie is brilliant! I never saw that coming!" It had me second-guessing my own perspective as a viewer. The plot was incredibly well thought out. Then, it went to far. It wasn't just too long in terms of run-time, it was too long in terms of the number of plot twists before the end. It got too incredibly outlandish, cliché and sensational. In the end, I had no idea what the artful manipulator's end game was. What was the motivation? I don't know what you want! This movie, like it's character, should have quit while it was ahead. Still, I think this is one of those stories that's going to stick with me. I'll find myself mulling over it in my head for a while to come.
