The Closer You See, The More You Find It Disappointing.

Rating: 5/10 (11 September 2013)

"The closer you think you are, the less you see."
Oh, right, Mr. Morgan Freeman. If you say so. But seriously! Whatever the actual heck is that supposed to mean?
It's this type of smugness and self-arrogance of the film that makes it a bit distracting to enjoy. It thinks itself as too intelligent and smart, but in actuality is a bloated excuse to make a mediocre story around mediocre twists. Not a single character is worth remembering.
In short, the film is fun while you're watching it, but when you stop and think about the story, it comes up being really dumb. And that's a cleaver illusion the film creates for itself. I'll give it that.
