Wow

Rating: Null/10 (28 October 2011)

That's all I can say: Wow. What a movie. This is a psychological thriller, in every sense of the meaning. Thankfully, I knew what I was going in for, so when I watched it, I enjoyed it. Great premise, great script, great acting, great behind-the-scenes work; I could go all day on this one.
Michael Douglas has hit a home run here, ladies and gentlemen. He is flawless. Sean Penn is great as well, despite the limited screen time that he is given. Everyone else did good as well, but it is really Douglas' character that you feel for the most, which is obviously a good thing since he is the title character.
All in all: a phenomenal film. If you like watching psychological thrillers, go see this movie. However, if you leave your mind at the door, you will be way too confused when it comes to seeing this movie. This is a thinking movie. That being said, it was very well played out, and everyone involved in this film should be proud of themselves. 10/10 for me.
