Very good - a good change to Jim Carrey's regular slapstick acting

Rating: 8/10 (23 April 2009)

As I heard from word of mouth that Jim Carrey was starring in a new film, I thought it would be great to watch, considering many other classics he had starred in (Ace Ventura, Bruce Almighty etc.), but then I was told it wasn't a comedy, and that the movie was actually going to be a thriller. From this, I was automatically unconvinced that the movie would be great. I was wrong I watched this movie recently, and I was quite impressed at how Jim Carrey changed his acting style in such a sharp way, and the fact that he did it well was also impressive. It has a strange storyline, and although I'm no hardcore movie critic, I found no obvious errors in scripts and I personally thought the movie was great in technical terms. The movie is scary, and at the same time, makes you think about whats happening. Its nice how the director has made everything add up in the ending, but I was disappointed not at the actual ending, but how things had turned out for Carrey and his family.
However, the movie can get a little boring and too 'blah, blah, blah' at some stages. The story is somewhat weird, but overall, the movie is really worth watching, and deserves a smack 8 out of 10.
Another nice movie from Jim Carrey - he is yet to disappoint!
