Let's Just Forget the Whole Night

Rating: 8/10 (1 July 2018)

170225: This film, my second of the night after Get Out (2017), turned out to be a better entertainment investment. A life long, true crime aficionado; the psychology of multiple personalities has always been fascinating and Split makes it fun for a while. Dennis (James McAvoy) and Casey Cooke (Anya Taylor-Joy) hold the secret to this storyline but for tragically wrong reasons. This is not a feel good film. The final minutes lead you to believe a sequel was planned from the start but, after a bit of research, I discovered this film is actually a continuation of material from Unbreakable (2000). Upon viewing Split, I was not aware of this fact, nor did I make the association. Now informed, it still means little to me. I'm not excited to see the sequel and I left the theatre feeling little. I just wanted to go home and forget the whole night.
