IMHO:

Starts off very well. Nicely shocking and a good few laughs in places.

Middle of the film is good (not spectacular) and the performances from nearly all the cast are fantastic (especially John Cusack and Ray Liotta, and some bird who I can't remember the name of but would like to fuck in the ass )

End of the film. Weak. Pretty lame and a "twist" that I spotted coming a mile off that utterly destroys the good work done elsewhere.



Shame really. It's a "watch on sky when it comes on" job people, if only for the performances.....

Amanda Peet, yes, tasty.

The twist at the end was lame and totally obvious, yeah. The twist before that, where you find out what is actually going on is also utterly lame. Sure, you don't see it coming, but why would you? You're supposed to be able to look back at the film and say "OHHH, of course, it all makes sense." There was none of that, it just u-turned and you're supposed to say "ok then!".

All in all, a fairly crappy film tbh :\

I liked the film, a bit strange though with a nice twist

just to add, i knew who it was from when the mother got run over you only need to look at the poster and then see what he does in the window...... simple!

Well, I knew the main baddy from then too. It was pretty bloody obvious. However finding out what it's all about is a surprise, but then there was *nothing* to suggest it might be the case, they just sprung it on you. Totally lame tbh.

One of my mates really wanted to see it, I just came along on a whim, not really knowing what the film was about.

well theres a part when he goes out of a room one way, and then enters the room from a completely different way, and then someones dead etc

and the other first twist, you can see it coming when you see blood on his clothes for absolutely no reason.

yes, that was ok, the blood on the clothes bit. But going out of the room one way coming in the other only says something weird is going out. The answer they gave was a total cop out.
