nothing new... but it's a surprise...

Rating: 10/10 (10 September 2008)

**spoilers ahead* nothing new... really... but the movie just have 2 surprise endings.. and one of which - kind of fake surprise -is in the middle of the movie. this is the citizen kane of serial killer genre - and how they can have that ending get pass the studios must be a great story - maybe it's in the DVD commentarie(S)
On 2nd or 3rd viewing though, you see that the production value is fairly basic. John Doe's room is kind of sparse, you really don't see the diary books in closeup except for the opening. I wished the camera angles, perspectives, and close-up are much more personal; and have a POV, but the story seems to be have multiple POV, and you're an observer.
So the "10" given here is for 3 things : the 2 surprises and the ending to be official. Sort of like the book :
"There are two errors in the the title of this book"

subtitled : so what are the 2 errors?
