This film is the most ridiculous.......

Rating: 10/10 (17 February 2007)

This film is the most ridiculously amazing movie I have seen in a long time. I have not been so surprised and awed by turns of a plot since Park Chan-wook gave Oldboy to the US. I spent most of the movie gaping then asking myself and those around me, "WHAT?!"
The cast is supreme, especially the under-appreciated Mark Wahlberg. If Scorsese does not win the Oscar, then I just don't know what this world is coming to.
As to those who cry about the path the film took (all the way up to the end credits)...what did you expect? Did you think everyone was just going hug it out? Get real.
The purpose of a film is (supposedly) to tell a story or bring out certain emotions in the viewer. If it angered you, then it still did it's job. I was shocked by many events of the picture, but by the end I was cheering.
It kept me on my toes and the edge of my seat simultaneously. I kept jumping up, ranting, and effectively becoming a "better door than a window" for the rest of my group watching. If a movie can not only make me feel, but cause physical reactions, then I know this is a great one.
To sum it up, I only have one thing to say. It's a movie! It's there to entertain and intrigue you, no more no less. So if you are ready for that, along with many "What the h...?!"; then sit back, relax and enjoy!!!
