A Unique Psychological Thriller That Slowly Surpasses its Predecessors

Rating: 9/10 (18 January 2019)

11 June 2010. Sometimes a movie can fool one once, but rarely can it do it twice and by the end of this movie, it's anybody's guess (though probably not). There's a number of technical, logical flaws that appear in this movie, yet by flipping it, it can also become a superb example of psychologically performed movie right to the end. It's also almost impossible to discuss this perhaps predictable, perhaps not predictable movie without offering spoilers as this movie really to be fairly experienced can't really be described in any detail. The movie must proceed on its own in a linear fashion. What will be of more finely nuanced interest is whether there is any real longer term, lasting cinematic brilliance on a second viewing. Regardless, this one time experience like its predecessors which will become evident by movies end seems to have raised the bar even further and become a tribute to this psychological thriller genre, one of the best to come along in years. Perhaps, the only real difficulties with this movie is the seemingly overt, perhaps over-use of special effects during the first third of the movie and the perhaps too finely imbalance in how the second third of the movie plays on the imagination of the viewer.
