You do however, get some that are just so fresh and surprise you. But I was confident this would not be one of them. Boy was I wrong!
The trailer gave nothing away and when I eventually got round to seeing it, it was so nice seeing another idea being presented to the world. One big thing I liked it was the amount of detail involved. It was one of those that if you said even the smallest of plot detail, it would reveal a twist or two. The pacing is good, it sucks you in from the very start and most importantly, it keeps you wanting more.
Script is solid and everyone's performances contribute to the film in every way. Jake Gyllenhaal and Michelle Monaghan hold this film incredibly well by themselves which is a tough skill to acquire.
It is quite hard to review this film, as revealing any info would ruin your own experience. So I will quickly end this by saying, it's a must watch. It's originality is its biggest positive and thankfully it is presented well for everyone to understand, enjoy and it is one of those that you can watch again and again. It's a shame that it has not been promoted as well as it should have been. But that could be a good thing, as it feels like a secret gem that people can find on their own during a movie hunt.
Rating: 8/10
