You'll either love it or hate it

...And I hated it - and it wasn't because of the ending (don't worry, you'll read more about it in the other reviews here so I won't dwell upon it).

*** MODERATE SPOILERS ***



The reason I hated it is that the moviemakers go out of their way to make everything seem "possible", but there's entirely too many coincidences, and everything is just a little "too" neat. All of the breaks seem to go against the "good guy" in a way that really shattered the illusion of reality for me. From the moment things get going, the good guy never has a chance, and it leaves no doubt about the ending...

I gave the movie a slightly higher rating than I otherwise would've because the movie tried some innovative ideas, but I felt the story could've been balanced a bit more.
