A good movie

Since I kept hearing some interesting things about this movie, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, to be honest, it took me a while to get into this flick. Indeed, at first, it seemed to be a rather generic stalking thriller and, for a while, I was really wondering what was supposed to be so good about the damned thing. However, around the middle, they came up with some major twist which completely flipped around the whole story and, suddenly, the damned thing became so much more interesting to behold. And, then, when I was pretty much digging this new narrative direction, out of the blue, came another major twist which again changed everything. The complete unpredictability of the whole thing made it quite spellbinding and the movie definitely stood out from your average thriller. However, even if it was quite bold, it didnโ€™t completely work though. Indeed, the first part was just too long and, as a result, everything else happening afterwards felt rather rushed. Furthermore, they spent a good chunk of the running time showing that the main character was torn by guilt and desperately trying to figure who was the poor guy he actually shot but, after the first twist, it was completely dropped. Same thing with Ben Russell, he went from stalking a man for allegedly killing his son to actually killing his own son within a span of 40 minutes which was intriguing but also rather far-fetched. Anyway, to conclude, even if not everything completely worked, it was still a bold thriller and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.ย
