An intelligent story with suspense and twists

Rating: Null/10 (4 August 2011)

This has an interesting plot which is both quite intelligent and captivating. Special credit should go to Gyllenhaal who displays his great acting skills which is highly commendable. Especially the difference he manages to depict from the first flashback to the train in the opening scene against the later flashbacks. Where the situation is similar but he is more and more intelligent and aware of the purpose. Monaghan's role can be said as somewhat the opposite of Gyllenhaal's where she becomes more and more confused in each flashback on how this guy in front of her can "read out her mind".
The storyline is not too confusing though someone might say that they got too tired of watching the same train scenario playing over and over again. but that too made the audience think "who is the bomber?" and sometimes made you scream out "no that's not the guy! try the one next to him".
The ending might crop us some controversial thoughts as to how a person whose brain was living could request for mercy killing OR that its inhuman to get military services from a soldier's last living organ even after sacrificing his life for the nation. Did not he answer the call of duty?
