Ingenious

Rating: 10/10 (30 August 2005)

This film contains marvellous performances from the whole cast. It is directed with a sleek eye for detail and is surely one of the best films ever made. The story is clever, tricky, witty and completed with a twist that is just masterful.
If you like a film that makes you think from start to finish about the plot, character motives, scenarios etc... then this is for you. If you like a twist you don't see coming this is for you. I won't spoil it. That would be criminal.
I shall simply and briefly explain the plot. A man taken into custody (Spacey) explains the story of a gang of five criminals set up in a police line-up who decide to join together to commit the perfect heist. Who are then drawn deeper into a world of crime by a mysterious, unknown crimelord, which ended in an enormous explosion of death and carnage at the docks, in which a supposed drug deal went wrong... That's the gist. Sort of, but it's way more complex than that. See it.
