I've been reading a lot of horrible reviews for this movie, and I must say (as pretentious as it may sound), that you definitely need to be smart to get this movie. The trailer is a bit misleading - I knew I was in for an intrigue and plot twists, but not nearly as many as there were in the movie. Therefore, the trailer brings in a wider audience, whereas the movie is aimed for a patient, intelligent bunch that will not give up on the plot just because it's a bit confusing after the first 30 minutes. I think this explains the poor reviews - people gave up on the movie in the beginning so the ending meant nothing to them, whereas to the people that got it, it was genius.
I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone that thinks they have the brains and the will-power to sit through this movie. I do agree with people when they say that the time line is confusing as hell, but at the end it really doesn't matter. Also, with people that say that this is a predictable plot, of course it is. We knew that there was going to be a lot of lying and cheating to go around, but you never know what will ACTUALLY happen. So after it happens, you say, oh that it so predictable, but before it happens you would have never foreseen it. And all the tricks the characters use in the movie are genius, and if/when they don't work out in the end, and you find out why, you are flabbergasted.
Again, if you think you're smart enough, see this movie, and you will not be disappointed. |
