Tense Movie Well Acted!

Rating: 8/10 (29 January 2017)

First off I really enjoyed this movie. James McAvoy was amazing at best. Cycling through several of his inner personalities he was funny and downright terrifying. The tense scenes were with the psychiatrist as she probed Kevin to see what personality was currently in the light. Anya Taylor –Joy was a perfect casting. She portrayed her damaged character very well. Her back story was very troubling and important to the story. As for the other 2 girls they had very little parts and did some dumb stuff to get the tension going. When Kevin is finally consumed by the final personality (The Beast) he gains super human strength. It is explained that people with several personalities may have different needs or abilities depending on which personality is currently active at the time. One personality needed insulin when the host did not. Not sure if this is factually true or just movie fluff. Once Kevin turns beast mode the movie turns more into a horror film. I didn't mind the switch up because the movie needed to peak at that point. After Kevin kills the others, he corners Casey in a cage and realizes that they are both damaged by past childhood events and spares her life. You notice on Casey's body she has permanent scars from child abuse. Kevin was beaten with a wire hanger as a child. Very deep, dark and sad. Once Casey is found the movie revels that she was captive underneath the Tiger cages at the Zoo. Seems Kevin absorbed his last personality from the tigers. As for the so called twist that everyone has their panties in a bunch, It just a reference to unbreakable not a twist! You see Bruce Willis in a diner answering a question about a name the news station gave to a person. "Glass" was the answer. It was an Unbreakable reference. Not a twist! Kevin is not found which opens up for another movie. I would give this movie a solid 8.
