intriguing

Rating: 8/10 (31 July 2004)

This film has been getting panned by a lot of critics, and while I agree with some of the things they've been saying, I still enjoyed it. The largest trend in many reviews is that Night's directing excels over his writing. I agree; Night's got a great way of telling a story, but this one isn't his best. That doesn't make it a bad story. It's intriguing enough, and while the ending might be a little predictable (I saw it coming about 2/3 of a way through) the way it's presented make it worth watching. The cinematography, the performances, and Night's direction give it the edge over the story.
8/10
