a fine disturbing film

Rating: 9/10 (27 September 2005)

This is an excellent example of the modern psycho-thriller. The twists are more surprising and thoughtful than that of any Hollywood picture that has appeared in years. The cinematography is also amazing. It's a beautifully shot movie, which is a welcome surprise for the action genre. The plot is interesting, thought provoking, and fairly believable. There's no flying in the air or other supernatural elements. For the most part, it sticks to the real world for the action scenes.
Fans of Miike, Trier, and Raimi should thoroughly enjoy this film. It's twisted, humorous, unsettling, and if you're like me, you won't want to take your eyes off it.
