Don't Believe the Hype
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
I was shocked when the movie ended. What a twist.Guy Pearce is our main person in this one, and he actually makes a decent performance. But as far as Guy Pearce acting-skills go, this was probably the limit for what he could have done. He's just not that good.Pierce Brosnan however seems calm and relaxed during this movie, and to be fair, he steals the show from our main person. Pierce has unfortunately been away from the roles he can deliver in, for quite some time. After James Bond, the next highlight was The Matador, then it was Mamma Mia, then it was The Ghost Writer, then The November Man, then it was The Foreigner (which was a movie he really excelled in!) and then this one. We have some good acting performances in this one, the movie is just not strong enough to really execute the intense build up. It perhaps should have been a television series? With the court involved and things like that. But the movie was enjoyable, and that is the most important thing.
The film starts off good, keeps you guessing for awhile, but then loses its way. The ending seemed a bit mashed. As others have said, it's not great but it's not bad. Average is what it is. 5/10
The film's narrative evolved in complexity to the point that different paralel narratives, the blending of past and present, identities and versions of the same stories made everything confusing. Some people got that it was very deep because it questioned the reliability and indeed the concept of memory, etc., etc. However a more clear narrative and another, confusing finale would have been desirable
THE MOVIE'S STORY AND EVENTS WERE NOT WELL DEFINED.IT WAS MORE LIKE ''WELL YOU CAN SEE THE STORY AS YOU LIKE'..BUT WHAT I LIKED ABOUT THIS FILM ,THAT IT WAS NOT THE USUAL GENRE OF WELL TOLD AND EXPLAINED CRIME THRILLERS(IE IT WAS A DIFFERENT AND REALLY THRILLING EXPERIENCE EVERY MOMENT} AND THE FILM PRODUCERS,CREW DID A WELL JOB IN ACHIEVING IT...
