A very good film. An original film. Not top ten, though...

Rating: 8/10 (25 August 2010)

My brother has this film in his top ten. Most people I spoke to about this film had it in their top tens. IMDb, at the time, had it as the third greatest film on the website with a score of 9.1. Naturally, I was impressed by this, so I did what I haven't done in years, and actually went to the cinema.
When I left, my wife and I agreed with one another that although the film was original and thought-provoking, it was by no means the film of the decade, or even in our top twenty.
Now comes the point where people tell me that I didn't "get" the film. Don't worry - I got every single thing about it, but here is where the problem lies, for me, at least: When I pay eight pounds for myself, eight pounds for my wife, and a whole lot more for food, drinks and fuel money to get there, I like being entertained. In this case, I wasn't. It was like I had spent all that money, only to be handed a thousand-piece jigsaw and told I had what seemed like four hours to figure it out.
Ellen Page didn't even get her knockers out once, too. I was gutted.
