Cliché

Rating: 7/10 (11 November 2008)

I'll start by pointing what i really enjoyed. The acting is mind blowing, so much great actors all put together in one movie drew my attention at first sight. Specially Kevin Spacey and Benicio Del Toro. Bryan Singer is a good director and i can't say much about how perfectly directed this movie is. Not to mention, the soundtrack! Beautiful.
Now, i am the kind of guy that watches movies since very early in the childhood and had kept watching tons of movies until nowadays. My father is a director, i guess that explains. So I'll point out what i didn't like in this movie. First of all, i anticipated a lot of dialog of the movie. Specially all those remarkable lines. But worst of all, i figured out the ending way before i should have. So i hate to say this to a good movie with an excellent cast and with a good director, but i found it to be HIGHLY CLICHÉ ending twist!
That ending just happened too many times in other movies, the "crippled man cover" has been seen through and through. I understand that this movie is being overrated by the regular weekend movie spectator. So i would give this advice to people who know movies and have seen a lot of them, do not expect too much of it or you'll end up like me. It surely doesn't deserve to be considered a cult movie or a must see.
This is a good thriller, i enjoyed it. And that's it.
