POOF! He's gone...

Rating: 8/10 (16 June 2006)

Brilliantly made, directed, and written movie about criminals who meet in a line-up and decide to go on a crime spree for money. Very well scripted, and direction is very well done. Director Bryan Singer (X-men 1&2, Apt Pupil) has earned respect as a filmmaker by leading you into so many places only to put it all together to make one.
One of my new favorite movies of all time is done so well, once you get into it, everyone around you won't matter. You won't even notice they are there. It is a must see, though slow at the beginning (for me, anyway; I was a little lost) and then like a roller-coaster of clues the next. I great mystery/thriller done to the fullest extent imaginable.
Though, the R rating left out a few things: a scene of rape (very mild...ish) and for mild gore and drugs. Thge rest of the rating says language and violence. Lots of language said in colorful ways, and violence off and on. A must see overall.
