Great, brilliant, excellent

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2006)

This is definitely one of the most original movies I've ever seen in my whole life!! There is absolutely no film I could make reference to because this movie is unique in all it's means. One could think it's not a big deal, but there is to consider that it begins without you knowing anything and throughout the film, with a very original technique, you're brought to know step by step what really is going on and with who the characters are dealing with 'till finally it finishes with a very surprise ending. Do not expect though to see a horror, this is a thriller, it scares you at times but it's more a splat movie and it it's much more concentrated on the plot than on the groce scenes. Regarding the acting I think the actors were great and absolutely up to the role they've been assigned, considering also that Leigh Whannell was at his first worldwide picture. Also a very good directing by James Wan which was also at his first real big movie. For a medium budget movie I must say that the audio, picture and video are excellent and the movie is very realistic; and they certainly didn't save on writing the story which took Wan and Whannel 9 months!! Of course a situation and series of events like those occurred in this movie is very unlikely to happen in real life... but what the heck, if you don't see things like these in movies, where else would you???
