Good movie, but twist too predictable

Rating: 7/10 (26 February 2016)

This movie could've been great, and I love movies like this. However there was no twist for me. I figured out the "surprise ending" about a third of the way into the film. Unfortunately, guessing the twist means the movie isn't as powerful. I can see how if you didn't see the twist, it would've been a great movie. I, however, was disappointed, and I know I'm not the only one.
The twist is all too predictable. There is a mystery character, who is almost too cunning, cool, and unstoppable to believe. His history makes him out to be the most intimidating and mysterious legend in crime. So who is this figure? It must be someone we know, someone the audience has been introduced to, because if it is anybody new--big whoop, nobody cares. So which character could it be? Well, the least likely guy, in movies like these, is the most likely guy. So, try the crippled, awkward, outcast--Verbal Kint. It couldn't be him, he doesn't know what he's doing--so it must be him. Not to mention, he's the only guy who survived! And he's the one telling the story, as he wants you to hear it. In movies like these, if you think "it can't be him!" guess what-- it's him.
Disappointment, but well-done otherwise.
