Better than expected

Rating: 6/10 (12 July 2014)

Better than I expected. Expected it to be mostly gratuitous, sadistic, pointless violence. Has that, but also has a fair amount of intrigue and suspense.
The movie builds well, from the initial confusing, no-explanations- given, scene. Information is fed in in fragments. Even once the full picture is revealed, there are still a few good twists and blindsides.
Last few scenes are incredibly suspenseful, with no clear conclusion.
The amount of violence and gore does detract from this however. It is often gratuitous.
Overall, a watchable movie, with a decent plot. It is the subsequent sequels that turned it into 100% gratuitous sadistic violence. Trust Hollywood to ruin a decent movie by making heaps of mindless sequels.
