Kutcher.....can he ACTUALLY act?

Rating: 8/10 (4 November 2005)

The answer is yes, apparently he can, and it's a shame that he doesn't show it more often. I also think that the writers and directors did a fantastic job despite not being used to directing. They used some interesting codes in the film, (look for the colour red!) and the way they jumped around from time to time at the start of the film is a fantastic way of drawing attention, (almost slapping the viewer over the head every time they aren't concentrating!) Kutcher does a marvellous job as Evan, and he is supported brilliantly by a cast which isn't too well known, but very gifted. Oh, and another thing i must say, if you saw the version in the cinema's (particularly in Australia), and you feel cheated by such a crowd pleasing end, make sure you catch the director's cut DVD version, because the ending is far better and there are new events throughout the movie that support this new and improved ending. The cinema version i give 5/10, the director's cut i give 9/10, so it makes a big difference! All and all, it's a very compelling film and certainly worth a viewing!
