Upper Echelon Popcorn Thriller

Rating: 7/10 (12 April 2017)

Though not an absolute masterpiece, this is a well made film with plenty to enjoy - an original story, a memorable performance from James McAvoy and a good dose of intrigue.
The suspense did wane in parts but never long enough to lose my interest. Shyamalan, conscious of the audience's perception of his previous films also plays with our expectation of a twist to deliver a satisfying conclusion.
Most importantly, Split poses an interesting and pertinent question about how we deal with trauma and offers an answer which I found agreeable and in keeping with the story and in the wider context of society.
