Nice birthday present

Rating: 9/10 (6 February 2003)

I saw this movie in theater on its opening weekend. It was my birthday and I felt like giving myself a small birthday present.
I sat there enthralled and engaged in the plot. The tension and intrigue were great, emanating from great directing and a believable performance from the entire cast. It makes you think and try to fit the pieces together, while remaining slightly edgy and always moving forward. The best part of the movie is its slightly eccentric, but ultimately original and daring script that made Nicolas Van Horton's birthday present my birthday present worthwhile.
You cannot forget an ending like this. Some did not care for it much, most loved it, I simply adored it. I sat there end watched the screen even as the credit rolled and kept saying to myself "I can't believe he did that, I can't believe they did that". Refering both to the character and the writing team (who wrote "Terminator 3, coming to a theater near you" by the way). Unbelievable.
It helps that talented David Fincher was able to work with this crazy script, keeping it dark and intriging and bringing it to its ultimate climax.
Must see.
