Great Film!...but the hype is too much.

Rating: 7/10 (19 September 2007)

I just saw this movie for the first time yesterday. I had no idea of the plot, all that I knew was that it was a "must see". After seeing the film I couldn't help but feel a little let down. I really enjoyed the film, but wasn't blown away. I am still attempting to reconstruct where I've seen this plot-line played out before. I am a huge Hitchcock fan, and I have a feeling it is from a film from his "Lady Vanishes" days. If you are one of the reviewers that would give this film a "10", I would suggest you look into more Hitch films. Don't get me wrong, this is a great film. The acting is great, as are the cinematography, and script. However, it just isn't the masterpiece that many claim. I can provide no commentary for any underlying themes or standout scenes. Sit back and watch, don't expect art, or you will be setting yourself up for disappointment.
