For a movie that involves a person who works for the special effects department, the movie doesn't overuse special effects and that's what I like about this movie.

Avoid all plot summaries. Go into this as ignorant as possible. It'll add a ton to the viewing experience. I still say it's one of the most underrated films of all time. -JayTrotter
