enjoyed movie but was frustrated with filming

Rating: 8/10 (4 September 2006)

I thoroughly enjoyed the movies acting. The script development was superb. I enjoyed the shots of the castle. I had just visited Vienna and enjoyed seeing familiar buildings. You really have to pay attention through out the movie if want to understand it. It sort of reminds me of a M. Night Shamalyan movie. You have to really pay attention to details. Nothing is as it seems. Ending didn't catch me completely by surprise but still enjoyed. My only frustration was the microphone showing up at the top of the screen. It kept appearing in at least 3 scenes. It was very annoying, especially for such a high budget film. Either the grip or editor should be docked in pay. Other than that, I recommend seeing the movie.
