Too much stylish, yet enjoyable

An another Korean director's Hollywood debut, the 'Oldboy' fame. Compared to his other movies it was not that impressive. The character India was a bit like the Jodelle Ferland in 'Tideland'. This movie was more stylish, the camera work was excellent, the cast and the locations were so good.

This story was written by the 'Prison break' star Wentworth Miller. I was little disappointed in the characters which never came close to me an emotionally, but as a cinematically it was as awesome achievement. The portrait of character India was little let down after all her special abilities were so powerful than any others in the movie which were not used properly. All it was done was transforming one personality to another, that was the mainstream story of this movie.

The whole movie presented in anime style, in fact frame to frame it was. It would have been at least near to a masterpiece if it was the traditional way of story telling than adding too much style. The character Charlie makes all the difference in the movie but seems borrowed from another movie especially Hitchcock's 'Shadow of a doubt'. Overall it was a nice watch, pretty enjoyable and don't expect much from the story and the twist.
