The claustrophobic freedom and Shyamalan's fate killing the third act.

Rating: 7/10 (9 June 2017)

After 12 years of unsuccessful work, M. night shyamalan, returns to his best field, the psychological suspense, even if the script is lost, we have a very technically very good film and with good performances, "Fragmentado" is a film about The imprisonment imposed on our lives and the attempt to be free. The screenplay tells the story of Kevin (James McAvoy), a man who has 23 personalities who kidnaps 3 young people to prepare them to receive a nebulous, brutal and savage twenty-fourth personality, the script of the movie 'could follow a completely different path , From the third act to where the element of the supernatural is introduced (not always Shyamalan's twists are good), the viewer completely disconnects from the film, and the script that until then was frightening, claustrophobic and uncomfortable, becomes a Sc-fi poorly explained, even grasping with all strength the brush of rational explanation that the film exposes, becomes disconnected and invariably weak. We have a legal moral dealt with in the film, there is a questioning about freedom, not physical, but the psychological, in Kevin's view, all those who have already experienced freedom, have already enjoyed the pleasures and sins of life which makes them impure, is A radical vision that becomes interesting when Kevin begins to use his dominant personalities to create an environment and a personality that will be able to apply this concept, and this personality is exactly one inspired by ferocious animals (Kevin lived in a zoo) precisely the personality that In thesis is irrational because it is an animal, this is a parallel and a criticism, because only such animalistic personality could impose such an absurd concept of freedom in practice, in the middle of all this, his other personalities ask for help. Technically the film is very well finished, with a cold photograph, a soundtrack that appears at the right moments, a good mix and great editions and editing that create one of the best things of the film that is the rhythm, the rhythm is very well, Does not sin, even in scenes that repeat, is always progressive and loves to instigate the viewer, always maintaining a great aura of suspense in the air. James McAvoy is great, making faces, he really knows how to give different tones to each character, and anya taylor-joy is also very good, inclusive, his entire narrative arc works in perfect sync with James, something difficult to achieve in a movie. Finally, "Fragmentado" is a good movie that replaces M. night shyamalan as one of the biggest names in the industry, the film has its mistakes, it's true, but its 2 first acts are exquisite.
