Enjoyed greatly as dark, thought provoking, and shocking

Rating: 10/10 (26 January 2004)

If you like really dark movies or movies that shock you into thinking, then you'll probably like this movie despite the rest. The nice thing is that the rest is also really good. When you leave the theatre, you feel drained (in a good way), and a little frightened of all the "what if I had done this instead of that" thoughts and oh how your life would be so very different... and is this reality?
From what I've seen, there are plenty of people who are going out of their way to put down this movie... it seems very much because they don't like the main actor and can't like the movie because he's in it. Well that's very narrow minded of them; I certainly have a new respect for Mr. Kutcher after this movie. A lot of the so-called plot holes I've read about are actually wrong, so don't even worry about them.
Bottom line, leave the kids at home and buckle up for a wild ride through the depths of someone else's mind. A+
