My major is you.....

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2013)

A man is kidnapped and imprisoned in a shabby cell for 15 years without explanation.
He then is released, equipped with money, a cellphone and expensive clothes. As he strives to explain his imprisonment and get his revenge, he soon finds out that his kidnapper has a greater plan for him.
So the man embarks on a path of pain and suffering in an attempt to uncover the motive of his mysterious tormentor.....
There are many films that have amazing twists. Se7en, The Sixth Sense, Fight Club. But none really impact one like this does. There was literally a point in the movie, not to far from the reveal, where I thought 'please no, not that', and it certainly was.
But if you've stuck with the film up to this point, you have the stomach for it, because you've endured one of the most visceral films of the last 10 years.
Its a wonderful concept, a Man being locked up for 15 years, and has no idea why, or who has done this. There are times when you put yourself in his place, and you really feel his emotion, and his rage.
He's lost his wife, and he's blamed for the murder, and then one day, your freed.
And then the film really starts its descend into madness, and if your a fan of teeth, you've picked the wrong film. The violence is as you would expect from a film that is part of the vengeance trilogy, and it really holds you in its sadistic grip until the final frame.
There is no reprieve for the main characters, and when the rationale is explained, you will guess the twist, and you will have exactly the same thought that I had.
Essential viewing, one of the true modern greats.
