Delightfully inside-out plot

Rating: 9/10 (11 January 2007)

I was captivated right from the beginning. It was the sort of film where you are not really surprised when somebody gets killed - you even expect it. But it is the manner of the killing, and the meaning for the rest of the story that really matters. The editing is excellent - though it gets a little flaccid in the last 15 minutes or so (and so a vote of 9 rather than 10). The acting is excellent. I could definitely enjoy watching this again. Once you've understood what the story is about then there really is only one 'person' who could be the real perpetrator - but the beauty of the film is that it works just like a nightmare (as the viewer you are on the inside taking it all as real).
