Expect the unexpected.

Rating: 10/10 (14 September 2002)

The TV was my babysitter when I grew up. I know all the plots, all the twists. When a movie surprises me, it's a cheat, a fraud, a deus ex machina. Or brilliant.
This movie is brilliant. Not a slow moment, a gory movie that is not a gore-fest, a shocking movie which does not rely on FX for shock, plot-driven, character-driven, absolutely brilliant. There are no loose ends, no descents into cliche. I thought that was where we were going: the hard-bitten veteran sparring with, and eventually becoming best friends with, the naive newcomer. But no!
I've said very little about the movie. I don't want to give anything away. SEE IT!
