A good movie

I already saw this movie but since it was a while back, I was quite eager to watch it again. The funny thing about this flick is that, the first time I watched it, I wasn't really planning to see it but since there was not much else to see, I thought I might as well check it out. Eventually, it turned out to be a pretty good flick, much better than I expected. On the other hand, Roman Polanski has always been one of my favorite directors so I should have known better and he didn't disappoint me here. First of all, the directing was really neat and the cast was also very good (Ewan McGregor, Pierce Brosnan, Olivia Williams, Kim Cattrall, Timothy Hutton, James Belushi, Eli Wallach). Above all, I thought the mood created by Polanski was just great and the whole thing was pretty spellbinding to watch . Unfortunately, pretty much like 'Shutter Island' which was also released in 2010, the ending was rather disappointing as it was a a little bit too far-fetched for my taste but, just like 'Shutter Island', we deal here with a movie which was more about the mood than the actual plot which was never meant to be really realistic. Eventually, this movie turned out to be another interesting addition to an already impressive career, the critics loved it, I thought it was pretty good too and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Polanski's work.
