A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Isbel
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Here we have a standard film of the modern era. This movie is like ordering a pizza for delivery and when it arrives finding no piazza in the box. This is just a celebration of suspense for it's own sake. It goes out of it's way to be vague and reveal as little as possible. After watching you will know roughly the same as someone who had never heard of the movie. This is just cinematic junk food, It's only 88 or so minutes but I'd like them back, I could have been doing something much more productive like reading a book in Chinese, no I don't speak it.

Initially I thought this was going to be a psychological thriller involving doubles / doppelgangers, but it is more like a variation on the familiar "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers" theme. In any case, Sean Ellis' direction is better than his script; the aerial shots of London, the super-slow-motion replays of a car crash, and the scenes where people appear "behind" mirrors are stunning. But the story takes too long to get anywhere, and when it does the "revelations" are fuzzy, if not a cheat. I like Lena Headey a lot as Sarah Connor in the Terminator TV series, but here she gives a mostly monotonous performance, and the other actors are in it too briefly to make much out of their roles. ** out of 4.

i can only say it was quite tense and scary to the end.misleading too, since many times when tension was being built up like, you know - don't go there!, look behind you!, music getting more and more to a crescendo - and then - nothing! and right after it - the tension building up again and even scarier and again - nothing, lol.but occasionally there were scares, and pretty good.pretty much nothing is explained in the end, leaving you guessing, but some discussions gave interesting ideas that probably lead to what the authors meant (no spoilers, sorry - read for yourself).nothing much to argue about quality of the movie - it is good! well shot, with good thrilling moments; nothing much to note for the actors in my view, but i guess this means they did their job well too :)

I've read several other user reviews of this film and there seems to be a common theme among the more positive entries: If you didn't like this film you must be a shallow, gore-loving Neanderthal. I find that interesting since I also read several of the negative reviews and found that few of those appeared to be suggesting the film contains insufficient gore.The most common complaint seems to echo my own. The film starts out as a promising psychological thriller but ends up a haphazard mess offering absolutely no explanations for any of the utter lunacy the film has presented, forcing the viewer to strain in order to fabricate even the most unlikely hypotheses! I don't mind a few unanswered questions so long as the major plot elements of a film arrive at a reasonable destination, but no such elements in this film appear to even have a destination in mind. I've seen just about every major film of this genre within the last 20 years and never before have I seen so many questions presented with so few explanations provided. Perhaps I am just too much of a simpleton to comprehend this uniquely "abstract and cerebral masterpiece".
