A very interesting idea

Rating: 8/10 (7 February 2019)

After a catastrophic train accident, a man is about to find out something extraordinary about himself. He's not being confident about this finding but a strange character seems to always be there to guide him whenever needed.
It's a movie which has a great premise which it slowly presents in parallel with the one of the other strange character. It builds up on it, piece by piece, until it reaches its mind-blowing finale, which took me completely by surprise. It's a story which also builds a lot of suspense, bringing something new all the time, enough to keep the viewer eager to find out what is going to happen next. It's characters are complex, well thought and put together while being likeable at the same time.
In terms of action, the movie doesn't excel, far from it actually. In fact, it has such a slow pace that it almost feels like it's going to stop. I'm not expecting explosions or intense shooting and I can understand and like a slow movie, but this one felt like it was exaggerating, judging by any standards. Thus, this is my biggest complaint about it.
Overall, I found a film which excels in storytelling, has a great plot and good characters but leaves a bit to be desired in terms of pace. It left a good sensation in terms of suspense and drama, which is another good thing, but it could have also a bit better when speaking of secondary characters.
