Better the more you view It

Rating: 8/10 (31 January 2014)

The 1st time I watched this movie it was confusing. This is a story with complex elements. The second time, the plot was easier to understand but I wasn't sold. The third time cinched the deal and the core of it was Vika, the trusting partner who was the easiest to manipulate. Andrea Riseborough deserves credit for giving the story its most tragic feature. Vika is dramatic irony on steroids. Who hasn't been betrayed in this world? Who hasn't been betrayed on a level that you can't imagine? That's Vika. If she only knew. I wish there had been more of her but it's supposed to be the star who fills the seats in the theatre. The movie is visually stunning with realistic landscapes. "You wouldn't believe what's down there," Jack 52 tells Vika. For some of the reviewers who didn't like this film at first glance, you might not believe what you find if you give this movie another chance. I'm glad that I did.
