I watched this movie with high expectations, having seen the reviews of this film. The idea of split personalities has also always enticed me. However, I cannot describe how disappointed I was in this film after watching it. I even thought of forsaking it halfway due to the unbearable acting.
I actually felt that the plot was pretty good if we were to disregard the amount of fantasy added to the plot regarding split personalities, but it's a movie so I don't have much issue with that. The acting of one of the main characters James McAvoy was brilliant as he brings out the distinct personalities of the different identities. His great acting, coupled with the decent script, makes up the factors of a promising film.
However, the acting of the 3 girls who were kidnapped is outrageously bad. I cannot describe how much I am annoyed by the character. Both the character's script and how the actresses acted annoyed me to no end. If there's one word to describe the 3 characters, it would be bad. The potential of the film was ruined by these characters. It could have been so much better.
But of course, with every opinion, not everyone would agree with what I have to say. This is just my 2 cents on the film. If I were to overlook the character flaws of the film, this movie would probably be around 7-8. I would probably still recommend it but it is definitely not a great movie that I can enjoy fully.
