A very well made predictable cliché

Rating: 6/10 (31 July 2008)

Its hard to write a review for this movie without giving much away. If I hadn't seen 3 movies that have nearly this exact ending it could be one of my favorites, that or if this was my first time seeing a movie like this. The bottom line is that they took the easy way out. It almost seemed like they had a bunch of really cool ideas for different scenes and scenarios but didn't know how to make it all fit together, so they did it the painfully obvious way. The only thing that kept me going on this movie is the hope that they had to take a different approach. I was wrong, and am seriously disappointed. Don't get me wrong, this is probably better than the other 3 movies I am thinking of, but that doesn't excuse the predictability and the easy way out. I am half tempted to write the other 3 movies I have in mind (there is a duel meaning of me writing there are thr3e other movies... movie buffs will know what I mean. but there really are three movies that I could list). Its like they say third strike and your out.
I gave this movie 6 stars because it really was well made. Considering Christian basically went anorexic (it was hard to even look at him) to play the part shows the dedication, and that shows a lot about how much work was clearly put into this film. Rent it if you don't try to figure things out for yourself, and want to be "surprised" by the ending. I will also say I am surprised this wasn't a huge hit in theaters.
