Hackneyed and Easily Predicable

Rating: 2/10 (27 January 2013)

It is so sad that the hackneyed and easily predicable "twists and turns" in the storyline seriously detract from what could have been and I was expecting to be, a great film.
The concept was fascinating and interesting; the acting was on point; the cinematography looking amazing; and the sound design perfect. What really got me and made me mad and have issues was the old Shtick - trusted friend is the bad guy. It was further completed with the bad guys exposure at his own award banquet. This has been done time and time again and has become so well know that it is not a plot twist anymore. It was really to bad because I do feel with more originality, and less exploitative, this could have been a compelling, interesting thoughtful provoking movie.
