A True Masterpiece - destined to be a Classic!

Rating: Null/10 (15 May 2002)

I originally saw this film when it first came out to theatres with a few friends. I didn't know much about the plot - only what I had seen in the teasers. We just sort of went to see this movie to pass time...not really paying much mind to it.
But from the moment that we sat down - we could not stop staring at the screen - it was hypnotic in so many ways. We put so much attention to the story and how they explained each character and watched as they developed. This film was written and directed with such percision that is absolutely amazing. It starts off slow but each moment builds towards the end and the more you pay attention to the little things - the greater the ending will be for the viewer...as it was for us! Everyone had their own scenario of possible endings but we were all wrong - Very Deceiving.
Last night I rented the movie and watched it for the first time with my kids...and this time I paid very close attention to all of the smaller details while they went through the same motions I went through the first time. I must say that each time you watch this film, you come to a greater understanding and catch all of the hints it gives to you throughout the film - and even though I already knew how it ended - it still ran chills through my spine. And to see my kids react the way that they did...made it even a greater experience the second time around.
So go get a pillow, blanket and that significant other, cuddle up on the sofa and watch this movie...I am sure that you will enjoy it just as much as my kids, friends and I have!!
