poor cinema

Rating: 4/10 (21 November 2011)

Why is this described as a thriller, a mystery? It had neither thrill, nor mystery, nor intelligence for that matter.
When I look for movies to watch I always mention my favorites (Memento, The Game etc.) hoping for similar kind of cinematic entertainment, and eventually this movie came up. It was supposed to be as intense, interesting and intelligent as the mentioned ones. But, it was just one big disappointment. Maybe, if I had no expectations, the experience of watching it would have been better...
I suppose this might be thrilling and suspenseful for someone who usually doesn't prefer that genre and is used to the "lighter" movies you don't have to put much thought in. But even for that person this wouldn't be the first pick for an evening at the cinema, so I really don't understand the amount of attention this movie got.
