I did my duty and searched back for a previous thread...just tell me if I missed one.
Watch out, neophytes, because I think any commenters are going to say some stuff about this movie which anyone who hasn't seen it but still plans to may not want to hear.
But this taut little fellow deserves much better than what I'd come to expect. Yes, it's a B-movie, but *magnificently realized*. Too bad I didn't notice David Twohy's credit till much later...now I understand. Also the screenwriter, Twohy plays with thriller conventions in the dialogue, and briefly plays with *you*, sitting there in the seat! Once you hear a certain movie convention, your ears perk up, which is exactly what he wants. Sorry I have to be so oblique, but this is a better movie than its rep would suggest. |
