Excellent movie

Rating: Null/10 (10 April 2004)

I don't really understand the criticism of this movie. It seems to go along the line of people liking the start and then deciding for one reason or another (acting, the twists, not being supernatural) that it is a bad movie. Well I think the acting is fine as you would expect from a movie with john cusack in it. Admittedly the screaming bit in the middle where the girl runs off is a little cliched but who cares. Should we really be so pretentious as to say 'oh I saw something similar in another movie'. I thought the movie was original (It's about as much like fight club as any cop movie is like another cop movie so don't make comparisons) and the twists are well done and well integrated into the plot and keep you guessing until the end. The twist at the end wasn't put in willy nilly as a way of making it interesting, it was integral to the whole plot. It was said that it was a shame it wasn't supernatural as suggested but that's not the point of the film. Anyway as you can tell I really liked it so 8.5/10
