With this movie i have been seeing a lot of, you either love it or hate it kind of ratings...
But i will try to stay objective and analyse it for what it is. A thriller, as far as the suspense goes, it has its moments, but nothing ever too fancy or unexpected, the acting is fairly ok, and the story does grip you into it, in the beginning, however as the movie progresses it just starts getting a bit predictable, and even slightly boring as you already know what will happen next.
The plot twist, well, i have to be honest did i see it coming? not a chance, was it all that great? not really, i would say average, doesnt take or add anything to the movie, it is just another twist like so any others you have seen before.
Having said that, is it an awful mess like some have been implying? not at all, it is enjoyable for what it is, and if you dont go into it expecting something magnificient like Se7en (deadly sins).
I can say i enjoyed it, went in with absolutely no expectations, knowing beforehand, that starring Val Kilmer could go either way, and it turned out it was not bad at all.
Will i be recommending it to all my friends and thinking of this "masterpiece" on the coming days? not really...It makes for a nice sunday flick, and that is all it is, and i dont think it even aspires at anything more than that.
